if you can, I'd recommend cutting a spiral groove through the exit hole and a pinhole at the top(to equalize with atmospheric pressure) as the act of sealing the STP against your skin creates a vacuum that reduces the exit flowrate from the STP
if the fluid in the basin can exit in the same fashion like emptying a bottle by swirling it, then the flowrate should be high enough that the basin doesn't have a chance to overflow
not sure if this is the best method, just one that I think has the best chance of working, although someone might have a better idea🤗
Could you describe this in more detail and the tools I would need to do this? Having trouble visualizing it
here's a 40s vid that demonstrates the equalization of pressure for best flowrate: Fastest way to empty a bottle
for making the spiral cut I can only think of a thread tap: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07WHWBTLJ
That's quite interesting. I wonder how well it would cut into the soft silicone. Hoping for a more low tech solution that I don't have to spend money on but I will keep this in mind if I can't figure something else out.
unfortunately I don't have experience in cutting silicone so I couldn't say
totally fair, as a diy-er I like to look for the lowest cost solutions as well, I'm a bit tapped out for this project unfortunately
either way best of luck to you!✊
Nice pun there :D
lol it was unintentional but thanks! >D<
I'm curious if inserting a plastic straw down the shaft of the STP would have the same effect as it did with the water bottle
I would assume so with two caveats being that the straw would have to be above the fluid level in the basin and it'd probably be a pain to clean every time
