Some pumpers have size concerns with the available Pfallosan chambers. I had the idea of making a 3D print of a chamber which can be integrated with the PF system. This was my first 3D print so I didn't know what to expect. I had this done by an experienced 3D printing business which uses advanced materials. The biggest problem when you want to mimic the Phallosan chamber is that the pump is attached to the complex top part of the chamber which I think is impossible to copy on a Computer Aided Design program. Therefore I want to connect a CPC hose coupling to the chamber and use it with a ball vacuum pump.
The 3D print arrived today and I tested it right away. Unfortunately there is a leak at the top because air was interefering the printing process. I will use instant liquid adhesive to cope with that. I just tested the chamber with scotch tape and it was good to go. For the CPC valve I have to make a thread into the plastic. Drilling a thread into plastic may be tricky and I don't know whether the chamber survives this. CPC valves are only available as tapered threads, namely NPT and BSPT. Previously I assumed it was a parallel BSP thread. Long story short I have to order a tap with which I can make the thread. Also I still have to order the CPC valves which are a little bit difficult to obtain if you don't have a prof. business yourself.
