The purpose of the ash catcher is to prevent any ashes from going inside of your bong while smoking the end of a bowl. It is an excellent way to prevent your bong from being dirty, because all it has to do is filter the smoke, while ash is collected in the catcher.
To use it, just put a little bit of water inside of it (so when the ashes fall they don't burn the plastic and they get put out immediately), insert you glass slider in the hole at the top and enjoy ash-free bong water from now on!
I recommend emptying it after each use to increase its lifetime and washing it at least with water, to make sure the ashes don't stick to the walls inside (if PETG is used, this is also prevented).
ATTENTION!
-I highly recommend printing the parts with PETG, as it is food safe and does not let water stick to it, making it easier to clean (PLA will start collecting bacteria after a while and has an unpleasant odour).
-A glass/metal slider must be bought for this. Printing it in plastic would be really hazardous. The Diameter hole is for 14mm sliders, which can be easily found in shops or on amazon for quite cheap.
-The inline for the bong is angled at 105° degrees, so that if combined with the 3D Printed Bong (check it out in my shop with All the 3D models of ToxinBongs・Cults (cults3d.com)), it is parallel to the ground, but it can be used for every bong (or bong component) with a 14mm hole.
-The second picture shows how it looks on the 3d Printed Bong (check it out in my shop with All the 3D models of ToxinBongs・Cults (cults3d.com))
PRINTING SETTINGS: The slider has been purposefully designed to be printed without any supports (flip it upside down, so the hole is on the build plate); also please print this with at least 5 wall lines and 5 top/bottom layers, so it is going to be watertight and a lot more resistant.
PLEASE ONLY USE THIS IN PETG!! OTHER PLASTICS ARE NOT SAFE!
