PVC Pipe Bracket

thingiverse

I fabricated these brackets to construct a "dry box" for storing my filament (it's humid in Hawaii). They are impressively robust. The Solidworks file comprises 3 configurations, one tailored for each pipe diameter. All dimensions are derived from equations. PVC pipe isn't an engineering material; the dimensions fluctuate unpredictably between manufacturers. The two most critical equations are PVC_pipe_diameter and Nub_diameter. The "nub" fits snugly into the pipe to prevent it from being dislodged accidentally or bowing under heavy weight on the pipe. Each STL file's suffix indicates the diameter of the PVC pipe the bracket is designed for.
