Hydroponics tower 2inch cup holder for 4 inch diameter tower

thingiverse

This print is for holding a 2 inch cup at 45 degrees to a 4 inch pvc for a hydroponic tower. Most people either 3D print the entire thing, or use a heat gun and pipe to make holes. The first seems to use way too much filament and the 2nd option can be hard to perfect. I had a lot of issues with water coming out of the holes and traveling the outside of my grow tower. This should allow you to drill a hole in a 4 inch pipe and then glue or epoxy this over the hole and create a seam so water stays on the roots of your plant and doesn't come outside. I just used tinker cad for this and there are some imperfections so please feel free to remake. This is my first upload. The diameter is exactly 2 inches. If you want to use it as a drill guide I did have success printing one at 104% the original size and using it to help drill at 45 degrees. I printed it upright with no supports on my poorly tuned ender 3 in about 2 hours. I would recommend selecting adhesion in cura since there's so little surface area on the build plate.
