This is a continuation of the “Ultimate panda mods” thread, i said i was going to post a new thread once i started shipping, started shipping earlier today.
Replacement Panda spouts are now available, I did a small run of these, most of them have sold and are being shipped out, i still have a few left, although ill probably make another batch.
I designed these in an attempt to make the panda spinner, a cornerstone of small scale extraction labs, safer. The spouts that come on the panda originally are woefully weak and under built. They break almost immediately, they also gush recovered liquid all over the place, with no control. I wanted to be able to put a hose barb adapter onto my panda so i could flow the recovered tincture into a vessel with more control. I wanted a little more peace of mind.
The 3D printed spout has an integrated spill over, so in the event of the the system fouling up with debris and flooding, it will flood over the spillover on the spout and not into the unsealed hole for the motor shaft.
It is 3D printed in uncolored glass fiber reinforced nylon, which has excellent resistance to most of the solvents we as extractors would normally utilize, the O’ring is BUNA-N, the improved spout utilizes the same mounting holes as the standard spout, no drilling required and mounting hardware is included.
I’m still giving out the files to print this yourself if you have a 3D printer, it’s not a very hard print, DM me for the printer settings for infills, support angles, layer heights etc. I’ve been getting mine printed on an industrial SLS machine, they are solid, heck it’s the most solid thing on the panda.

DM me here or email me at Remmielke@gmail.com to order one, $45 for the complete kit, installation instructions, O’Ring, mounting hardware and shipping included.
I plan on doing some other 3D printed panda mods for the lulz and funnzies. I’ve already redesigned the top and bottom of the unit to be more robust and accommodate and integrate with custom tailor made biomass bags. Currently in the prototyping phase.
Also, i feel i have to state this, thank you for the support, I originally designed this spout with no intentions of selling it, it was just a fun side project and something to do to help the community out, but it escalated, the demand was there. I do this for the love of designing and too improve the laboratories of the community. I launched a new company and I am currently designing a new small scale centrifuge from the ground up, to be safe, sanitary, cost effective, and designed solely for running biomass (i guess you could throw your swim suits in there too, lol) Also other novel designs will be dropping, i’m working on some cool things besides panda mods and fuges. I will always keep an open source library of my 3D printed parts for the community to access and print free of charge, Rock Steady Innovations website will be online soon, will update this thread when its online
Thanks,
RS
