NOTE: Two new, improved versions of this are available at these links: ==== [Version 1.1](https://www.printables.com/model/238128-zip-tie-ceilingwall-hanger-for-4-pvc-pipe-v11) ==== [Version 2.1](https://www.printables.com/model/239201-zip-tie-ceilingwall-hanger-for-4-pvc-pipe-v21) ==== I wanted some hangers I could attach to the ceiling of my workshop by sinking at least two and optionally three screws through the hangers and into joists, and then using zip ties to attach 4" PVC pipe to the hangers, for purposes of dust collection. I printed them out of PLA and with extra perimeter walls and extra infill for increased strength. I am using a 0.6 mm nozzle, with a 0.3 mm layer height. I ran them with 6x6x6 on walls, and 30% infill. I then used pre-cut and pre-drilled wood between these hangers and the ceiling to get the right height to match existing pipe installed using another type of hangers. PS: these things work like a charm. 10,000 times easier than the method I used before this. I cannot overemphasize how pleased I am with the function of this part. If you use these on a ceiling for anything of weight, I strongly suggest using a stud finder in order to be able to hit solid wood. I remixed this using SketchUp Make 2017 (free version still available for download from Trimble's website). I am including the SketchUp file in case it helps someone with mods.
