Adjustable 3/4" PVC Angle Connectors

thingiverse

Obviously, this isn't for pumping liquids through PVC pipes -- it's for building structures that will withstand the elements. To join 3/4" PVC pipes at an arbitrary angle, try using these connectors. One set, consisting of a pair of double and single "spines," works well for angles up to just beyond 45 degrees. That set is stronger than the other one. By moving the hole slightly outward, the second set provides a wider range of angles with a slight cost in strength. I used 2mm walls and 25% infill with PLA+ filament and they are more than strong enough for our indoor awning. My prints fit perfectly together without any issues, so I didn't need to use the screw holes in the cylinder parts to attach them to the PVC pipes, but the holes are there just in case you need them. All the holes are sized for #8 bolts.

I printed them with the pointy end facing up.
