3in to 2.5in T-joint connector for dust collection system

thingiverse

I created this T-joint connector, specifically designed to seamlessly connect a 3-inch line to a 2.5-inch line, perfect for use in my lab's dust collection system. The carefully crafted connection points feature a subtle draft that enables a secure friction fit on the lines themselves. Constructed with walls that are precisely 0.1 inches thick, this connector is robust and reliable. Printing vertically with the 2.5-inch section projecting out to both sides adds stability, while the strategically placed supports ensure a strong foundation. However, to achieve its sleek appearance, some minor post-processing using the sander was necessary to remove excess material and polish the finish.
