PVC pipe connector (parameterized) by WimVl

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

With this connector (1 up to 6 exits) you can connect pipes (e.g. low cost PVC electricity pipes) to each other to create your own structures. The fusion360 file is included and the whole design is parameterized.
I will mainly use this in my garden to build cheap green houses (and, if the plants have grown, build cheap mesh houses to keep the birds away from the berries). For this I have included:
'GH_connector_90x3'. This is the connector for the GH-roof, and needs to be printed 2 times.
'GH_connector_135x3' This is the connector for the GH-legs, and needs to be printed 4 times.
But this design can also be used for some other ideas:
create atomic models. As an example I have included the H2O molecule
Geometric figures. As an example I have include a connector to create a piramid (60 deg. angles)
To modify and create your own versions:
1) get a Autodesk Fusion 360 license (the student version is for free)
2) open the PVC_pipe_connector.f3d' file
3) open the parameters: --> modify --> change parameters
4) select the body 'PVC_pipe_connector' --> rightclick --> save as STL file
