This tools fit for 16mm tubes, eg. acryl oder PETG.
The tools offer different angles and radii for bending the tubes.
Turn the parts with the writing upwards for printing. Using ABS may a good choice, since the tubes are hot during bending. 20% infill is way enough stable.
I printed it without supports, but if you like, take care of cleaning the round shape well. Otherwise, you will see imprints in the pipe.
Using the tools: insert a silicon strip inside the pipe and head the bending region carfully. Bend the pipe with a suitable radius and angle of the tool. Too tight radii can break the pipe. The smallest radius, matching the material and thickness of the tube, you have to try.
