I recently got this STP from rodeoh and I'm having trouble with leakage. Granted, I've only used it a handful of times in the shower, but I find my stream is too strong and it overflows the basin of the STP before it can exit the shaft and then it leaks out everywhere.

What are some tips to mitigate that? (Additional general STP tips are also highly welcome)

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

but tbh this probably isn't the best tool for this project

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!✊

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

[-] recursive_recursion@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

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
