I want to design a mount/funnel to hold a near empty tank upside down so as to drain the remainder into a nearly full tank. Anyone have a model of a cartridge?

No. But if you have a flat bed scanner, you can stand the cartridge on the scanner, make a scan, and then bring that in to your CAD software to create an outline, which if you then “loft” (extrude), would make a good “dummy” to model around…

Tanks can also be drained by removing the rubber bite valve.

Hi @RichM1,

Thanks for reaching out - I don’t have a 3D model of a cartridge available, but I believe the others have provided some viable workarounds for this.
