About this 3D model

*****UPDATED*******Due to the lack of availability of faucet covers in local hardware stores, I designed a faucet cover to protect my hose bib during the freezing temperatures. I used AutoCad to design the cover, mounting clip, and wing nut. The updated design has the screw section resized to be more robust and should be more sturdy. There are 2 options of covers to choose from. The first is the standard cover with Gyroid infill, the second is a hollow cover with a lid that has holes so it can be filled with spray foam. Or, you can stuff it with whatever material you want in the hollow space. I know this is not the same as Styrofoam, but it is better than leaving the faucet exposed. I suggest wrapping the faucet with an old towel before putting on the cover, and this should give a little more insulation and protection against freezing. *********************PARAMETRIC VERSION FOR PARAMETRIC MODEL MAKER************************** Key sizing: Width at Faucet: determines left to right size when mounted to faucet, against the wall Height at Faucet: determines bottom to top size when mounted to faucet, against the wall Depth at Faucet: determines front to back size when mounted to faucet, distant from wall Radius Corner: determines outside radius dimension Cavity Offset: determines the overall wall spacing Wall Thickness: determines the thickness of the inner and outer walls Taper Offset: determines the the taper offset from the opening to closed end Chamfer Corner: determine the chamfer at the closed end
