Description

PDF

These fittings will allow you to make a Reef Hub for the 2025 FRC game Reefscape out of PVC pipes.  Each fitting is split in half to allow easy printing and alignment of the layers for maximum strength.  Glue everything together with hot glue if you want it fast, or a slower curing glue to make sure everything is aligned properly.  I printed the sample pieces out of ABS with 3 perimeters and 15% infill, which seems to provide plenty of strength.

 

To assemble one full hub you will need:

(2) 35 degree T connector half prints

(2) mirrored 35 degree T connector half prints

(2) level 4 offset half prints

(2) mirrored level 4 offset half prints

(1) 23.125" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

(1) 13.875" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

(1) 12.25" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

(1) 8" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

(1) 6.875" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

(2) 10.5" lengths of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC

 

 

**UPDATE**

  • Added bevels to the allow easier insertion into PVC tubes
  • Added variant with holes to allow installation of a 54" long piece of ¾" EMT conduit for greatly increased stiffness (fit has not been verified yet, modeled based on EMT dimensional specs)
