Last Sunday when trying to carbonate some tap water, there was a bang and a loud hiss with dry ice flakes flying. Not good.
After opening the jew water fizzler, I found the culprit was a broken nut that holds the pressure hose on the CO2 valve side.
When I looked online, I found a replacement and thought 'That looks 3D printed'.
Sure enough, there's plenty of variants to choose from. Seems to be a common fault.

I settled on this plus two to three layers of teflon tape around the little brass ferrule that's clamped on the hose.

Was surprised at how good the thread came out on my Ender 3, printed extra slowly at 25mm/s in PLA.
