Makes handles, towel racks, etc.
Use with rod: 0.5 inch, 12mm or 0.75 inch; or 0.5inch PVC or CPVC pipe (either Schedule 40 or 80 should work).
Number 4 screws. Can use Number 5 screws for the 0.75 inch or the PVC/CPVC bracket.
Infill to how strong you need it to be. 30 percent a good starting point. Same with perimeters, tops, and bottoms - start with 3.
Prints with closed end of tube/pipe down.
Don't use PLA (PETG or ABS are good candidates) if this will be in wet, hot, or sunlit areas - PLA will degrade and fall apart with time. If in a dry area, away from heat, moisture, and sunlight, I like eSun Pro Plus PLA for its strength. For resin printers, you probably want "tough" resin.
DO NOT USE for safety critical applications like grab or other handles, or for suspending heavy items, unless you've done a load analysis on all components. You take on full liability if you print this item and it fails.
I'll consider doing other sizes upon request - PM me.
