Parametric PET bottle linker

thingiverse

This versatile system allows multiple PET bottles to be linked together seamlessly. Measure the size of your bottle and subtract a minimal amount (0.5 mm is an excellent starting point) to ensure a precise fit. Pressurization then creates a remarkably stiff and lightweight structure, offering a flexible alternative to glue, tape, and other conventional methods. In the post-printing process, PET bottles can be pneumatically connected with ease. Two approaches are available: one utilizing the M5 screw system (Tiki 4 x M5, a comprehensive package of 10 pieces) and another employing plain 4 mm tubes. The cover image showcases the Non-return valve, Shut-off valve, 5/3-way valve manifold, and Parametric pneumatic cylinder, all essential components in pneumatics projects. As with any project involving air pressure, using this system is at your own risk, particularly when pressurizing PET bottles.
