This is probably the easiest to print support for bent pipes and hoses. It's printable without supports. The slightly overarching design lets the hose/pipe snap into place. 
Holes for screws (3mm) make mounting to a wall or other flat surfaces easy. Sometimes double-sided tape might be enough to hold it in place. The bottom surface is a bit wider for a good amount of surface contact and easy printing.

The parametric design makes it applicable for a wide range of use cases, such as aquarium hose management or general plumbing in the household. With some modifications it might even be used for cable management ;)

This design is parametric! Go to onshape to customize the design.

Parameters:

  1. hose/pipe diameter

  2. bending angle

  3. bending radius

  4. mounting screw diameter

The wall thickness and other characteristics adjust automatically.

I include here files for a few sets of settings, each with 2 angles: 90 and 180 degree.

  • Diameter of 10mm with a bending radius of 35mm

  • Diameter of 12mm with a bending radius of 40mm and 30mm

  • Diameter of 17mm with bending radius of 60mm (should fit for common washing machine freshwater hoses)

  • Diameter of 20mm with bending radius of 65mm

  • Diameter of 24mm with bending radius of 80mm (should fit for common washing machine waste water hoses)

File names follow the scheme D<hose/pipe diameter>-A<bending angle>-R<bending radius>.stl


By popular request I can add stl files for other combinations of settings. Same goes for suggestions for improvements. Feel free to post remixes :)
