Parametric Pipe Adapter

When dealing with hydroponics or watering your garden you may need to couple pipes of different dimensions.

This is a parametric pipe adapter where all measurements can be provided: Internal and external diameters of the pipes, length of each side of the adapter.

The object is designed to print without supports. Please observe that bigger/smaller pipe diameters when providing your parameters, as the bigger one is the one that rest on the build plate.

If it is a small adapter we recommend printing it with 100% infill, if the size of the pipes is bigger you will need to follow the recommendations for water tight prints.

I used it to adapt the output of my water pump to the diameter of my hydroponic system.

You can access and apply your own parameters to the model here in OnShape.

Note that providing invalid parameters may collapse the model, for example, the External diameter needs to be at least 1mm bigger than internal because there are features, such as changers, using the difference of both, etc.
