Pex Pipe Foot for LED arches

thingiverse

I originally found a similar foot on an Xlights group google drive. It was for 2" pipe and subsequently way too big for my use case. I couldn't scale it down without messing up the other sizing so I modeled my own version. Use 1/2" EMT conduit between 2 of these feet to hold either 3/4" or 1" PEX tube in an arch. I've found slipping a strip of LEDs in the PEX looks great and works amazing as an arch prop. Its also pretty cheap to build. The bolt holes for holding everything together are for 1/4-20 bolts. The holes in the legs are 1/2" for stakes. I had a lot of trouble last year keeping my first version upright without stakes. This would probably print just fine without supports, but I didn't oversize the conduit hole very much, I wanted a tight fit.
