Key Features

  • Internal Fit: Designed to slide inside the tube for a flush, clean look.

  • Reinforced Fillets: Features parametric "webbing" between the arms to prevent layer separation and stress fractures at the join.

  • Fully Parametric: An OpenSCAD file is included so you can customize the diameter, angles, and shoulder lengths to fit your specific tubing.

How to Customize

If the default STL doesn't fit your specific tube, download the included .scad file and open it in the free OpenSCAD software.

You can adjust the following variables in the "Customizer" pane:

  • tube_inner_diameter: Measure the inside of your tube.

  • angle_between_arms: Change from Y (120°) to T (90°) or any other angle.

  • shoulder_length: How deep the connector goes into the tube.

Printing Instructions

Material: PETG, ASA, or ABS are recommended for structural strength. PLA may be used for light-duty prototyping but can creep under load.
