In-line reservoir

A widening of the channel itself: liquid flows straight through, but the channel holds more where it passes through the reservoir.

What it is for. Adding holding volume to a line without routing around a separate tank.

Measured on the rendered geometry, the variants hold 57.0, 77.8 and 98.6 nL; their names say 60, 80 and 100. Each variant below gives the measured volume; the names are kept because they are identifiers.

Variants

Sizes below are given in px: units of the design grid these parts were drawn on, where one unit is 0.0076 mm. That is not the printer's pixel. The printer has its own, different pixel size, and nothing on this page is expressed in it — see Hardware and process.
