3-Way Elbow, 1/2 Inch PVC Pipe Fitting Series #HalfInchPVCFittings - UPDATED 2015-02-02

thingiverse

I am designing a 3-Way Elbow that fits 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC pipe perfectly, as part of a series of 1/2" PVC fittings to supplement conventional plumbing fittings. The 3-Way Elbow can be used to create boxes and other shapes for making a small plastic-wrapped greenhouse to hold plants over the winter. I added triangular holes in the pipes to assist glue drying. Initially, I noticed that air tightness blocked drying completely. Top ledges on the horizontal holes make it printable without supports due to precise printing structures. New fittings will be continually created and shared as derivative extensions of my original 3-Way Elbow. Let me know if you require a fitting that hasn't been designed yet. It's highly recommended that new derivatives are created. When publishing, please label your innovations with #HalfInchPVCFittings for public tracking. 2015-02-02 Update: After calibrating my printer, side fittings were slightly modified to be more secure than before.
