180 Degree Elliptic U-siphon for 1/2" PVC

thingiverse

I wasn't thrilled with having multiple parts just to build a u-siphon, so I created this design. I believe it works better than a standard u-siphon made from pvc elbows, but results may vary depending on your input flows and exit pipes, as is often the case with siphons. The "theoretical" sizes were quite tight due to the filament used, so I experimented and discovered that the 103 scale was ideal for my printer to accommodate 1/2 inch PVC. Designing this was a blast, so I plan on creating more custom elbows and other components. If you have a request, let me know and I'll take a look. If you like this design and use it with satisfaction, please consider showing your appreciation by leaving a tip! As a creator, I value knowing that my time spent designing for Thingiverse and makers is well utilized and could benefit from the support.
