OBSOLETE: PLEASE USE NEW, IMPROVED DESIGN:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:653890\nStill going strong with the one upload per day new years resolution!\n~PLEASE DON'T MAKE V1 - It's already outdated ~\n(Note to Thingiverse, please add a document management system or method for renaming files on the site - currently only option is to delete the old files). \nNEW VERSION IS IN THE WORKS!http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650329 -LAYING DOWNhttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:656548 -UPGRADED DESIGN\nNEW T-PIECE REDESIGN:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:649314 Similar technique used in: Nescafe Nesspresso Espresso Milk Nozzle with New Pipe Connection Design/http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:653890 Only use high-quality ABS - not PLA.\nOnly use ABS after a well-executed Acetone Vapour Bath or similar sealing technique \nThe first rule of plumbing club, you never tamper with systems beyond your understanding. \nThis design is specifically for low-pressure return pipes in grey water systems at room temperature conditions. Do not attempt to use it on gas supplies (Propane, LPG, Butane) or combustible media.\n Do not use on hot water or central heating systems with temperatures above 40°C ; If you are unsure what this means, don't use this design.). Do not use on macerated sewage. Do not use in temps close to 0°C. Do not install under floorboards or similar areas where it can't be seen, monitored, or changed easily.\nThis model is not designed for use in high-pressure applications like nuclear power stations or satellite operations. Generally speaking, use this plumbing component sensibly. I have successfully utilized a similar concept in hydroponics at low pressure conditions (102KPa / 1ATM). If you don't know what these values represent, please refrain from using this design. I previously printed it and encountered issues sticking to the print bed and had a too small socket, which was slightly enlarged. The socket has been regressed back until water holds without leaking in successfully.\nThis is an effective method of printing near-perfect cross section elbows by Acetone vapour Bath and coupling with 22mm PVC Pipe Plumbing (you can also use the PipeWeld solvent for connecting pipe). Only utilize on waste & grey water systems - do not know if safe to print this component for drinking water. Do so at your own risk since unknown about what you're printing it in.\nPLEASE SHARE OTHER PIPE SIZES USED IN PVC PLUMBING!\nUNCERTIFIED AND DANGEROUS UNLESS PROPERLY TESTED WITH APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS. (OR IF YOU DO, PLEASE PROVIDE CLEAR VIDEOS FOR KNOWLEDGE EXPANSION).\n Printing this model "footprint" against printer bed with success will help maintain structure intact - and Acetone vapour bath will secure a watertight finish. The innovative angle is in self-support circles at 45 degrees from the printbed so they won't collapse - please do leave comments if you disagree!
