Tenting / Tarp-holder connectors for wood cleats (1x1" or 25x25mm)

thingiverse

Well, it seems in English "tasseau" doesn't exist... I hope the 1x1 inch is recognizable. This are multiples connectors that I designed to add a slope to the roof of my rabbit pen. There was already a rounded metal tube but it kept falling and didn't add a slope to the whole roof so water would pool. The main "T"-shaped connector has a round top so it doesn't pierce the tarp. Both right and left wings are inclined 10% which makes an elevation of approximately 12cm for a 1m roof span. The third wing is straight so you can mount another one opposite to it for better support (here I used my existing metal tube). The other connector is a simple two-piece half-pipe designed to be connected to ~27mm tubes and secured with zip-tie. In retrospect, that's one of those small projects where I would have spent less time using cheap metal brackets but oh well... I've included the Solidworks files if you want to make changes (I'm not going to modify this one on request though, I've had such a hard time with inclined planes in Solidworks, ugh).
