3D model description

Well, til now almost 90% of my prints come out very fine (remaining 10% were my mistakes). I'm very satisfied!
The only nuisance is the VAT draining, a dirty and tedious job; sniffing around I found the very interesting Garagem Fab Lab's peristaltic pump, I immediately felt in love with its semplicity and promising power.
But (there's always a but) I don't like much open-frame machinery, so I stole some well designed parts from Garagem Fab Lab and re-designed all the stuff.
The first remix has been adding a bearing ball to the pump axis; after all we're working with plastic...
Then I added top and bottom frames to keep the pump unaccessible from outside (you know, Murphy law strikes when unexpected).
I completely removed the teeth gears, using instead a directly coupled Nema23 I had somewhere.
I designed a tiny filter too (see images) to drain directly into your resin jar.

During tests I had a good 250ml/min flow rate with water.
Of course with resin the flow decrease, but still very acceptable.

The complete project is at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dPdnqOjQVe2

Personally I printed all stuff with my MSLA, but brave hearts could try to print them in ABS or PLA.

Simple code to make it run is included.

Hope you'll like it!
