Bracket for 20mm diameter UPVC tube

thingiverse

This is a holding bracket for a 20mm diameter UPVC tube. The tube itself is standard electrical conduit, and with two brackets, it can be used as a towel rack or other storage solution. Two versions were designed: one cored-out, the other plain. There's little difference in printing time, weight, and estimated cost, but the cored-out version looks more stylish. That's how I would have designed this for injection moulding. The recess for the tube is 20.5mm in diameter, allowing the tube to fit easily inside. Fixing holes are 4mm in diameter with a lead chamfer, suitable for 3.5mm x 16mm fixing screws. These parts were printed in PLA with 0.3mm layers and 15% infill and support material. A second version has been added, where the tube can pass through completely, supporting longer tubes. This new design comes in both plain and cored-out options. While it's not suitable for heavy loads, this bracket serves its intended purpose. STP files are also included for your convenience.
