PVC End Caps for Air Piston

thingiverse

Description Custom end caps for 1-inch PVC and 3/4-inch PVC pipe are designed to create a triple nest air piston, transitioning from 1 inch to 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch in size. These end caps are specifically used for a Halloween-themed pop-up-from-behind-the-bushes prop. How to Print To print the custom end caps, use PLA material and scale up to 102.20% on a Monoprice Architect printer. This will ensure accurate dimensions and precise fitting of the end caps. The Grand Scheme Watch the video for a visual demonstration of how to assemble the triple nest air piston using the custom end caps. To prevent the pipe from coming loose, heat the inner-bottom of each section with a heat gun and squish it together to form a slight bulge. File and sand the edges for a more precise fit, allowing the sections to slide and collapse smoothly.
