Parametric Modular Hose Segment

thingiverse

This OpenSCAD model, inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9006, creates a parametric LOC-Line compatible 1/4" hose segment. While only a single segment is currently available, future additions will include accessories like nozzles and mounting bases. The project includes a DWG with dimensioned reference design and a DXF for lathing cross-section. Additionally, there's a one-line OpenSCAD script to lathe the DXF into a solid using rotate_extrude, as well as a main parametric script. Upon completion, the model will be exported as a high-resolution STL file. The script contains numerous variables for tweaking and adjusting the design. As a first OpenSCAD practical design, feedback is welcomed, and the project has been updated to include a more comprehensive modular hose library (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9457). Those interested in testing the part are encouraged to reach out for potential modifications based on their experience.
