Hope Page inspired double hose mouthpiece

[James79]

I haven't forgotten, or stopped this project... Just went through a spell of getting my butt kicked by it! For a 3d printing hobbiest, this is what sadness looks like;

That was 4.5 hours unto a 5 hour print... And it was followed by another print fail 4 hours in due to a communication dropout (I should have printed from the sd card instead over over usb).
However, I seem to have it solved... 1 set of wagon flanges to print, then I send one out to @Frogkicker , my test dummy... I mean beta tester for the version done to take VDH wagon wheels.
Hopefully I'll be wrapping it up after work tonight.
Thanks, all, for the insight, advice, and encouragement.
Respectfully
James

No worries... I'm excited to put it in the pool today to verify if I have the water seepage truly solved!

Time and effort, well, this is my "fun stuff." It's what I get to do, not what I have too. As for money, spools of ABS are pretty cheap... I'm reusing old non returns and mushroom valves... All told I still have less into this than buying 1 repro Aqualung mouthpiece!

I'll post a picture of it in current form in a minute, from my phone.

Complete with 1 1/8 inch gas mask hoses;

The exhaust duckbill makes the gas mask hose fit fine, but on the inhalation horn I printed a TPU collar to make it fit. If I get water ingress still, I'll switch back to factory hoses and retest (osolate faults.

Pool test seems to be a success.... I officially dub this the Death-Wish Engineering Nope-Page Mouthpiece (Survival not guaranteed).

Kid tested, mother dis-approved!

I'll have one headed to @Frogkicker tomorrow for second opinions, and VDH wagon wheel fit checks.
And yes, I know the gas mask hoses are a tad long. lol

Kid tested and Mother disapproved !!
