Eheim filter intake pipe suction cup clip replacement
A replacement clip that holds the intake and outflow pipes of an Eheim Classic or Professionel canister filter against the aquarium glass when the original clip splits and the pipe starts floating free. The clip is a 16.4 mm C-ring for the 16 mm intake pipe used with 12/16 hose, with a 2 mm wall and a 14 mm mouth that snaps over the pipe, joined to a 6 mm stud with a 1 mm groove that accepts a standard 30 mm suction cup. Print it lying flat in PETG, which stays flexible in water and does not leach; avoid PLA, which softens and goes brittle in a warm tank. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Model an aquarium pipe clip with a 16.4 mm inner diameter C-ring, 2 mm wall, 12 mm wide and a 14 mm mouth for an Eheim 16 mm intake pipe, joined by a 6 mm neck to a 6 mm suction cup stud 8 mm long with a 1 mm retaining groove and 0.5 mm fillets.
Fit notes
Eheim, Fluval and Oase pipes come in 12, 16 and 19 mm, and suction cup stems vary, so a clip generated to your pipe holds firmly. In SpeakCAD you give the pipe and stem diameters, preview the clip in the browser, ask for a double clip for two pipes in the chat and download the STL.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
