Showcase the incredible versatility of 3D printing and modern filaments with this organic 3-way manifold sample. Designed to look like a complex technical automotive part (like an exhaust collector or intake), this model serves as a perfect demonstration object for material properties.
While it looks like a rigid industrial component, printing it in flexible materials transforms it into a surprisingly squeezable and durable object. It is ideal for testing new filaments or simply as a satisfying desk piece to demonstrate what your printer is capable of.
Key Features:
Material Showcase: Ideally designed to demonstrate the properties of different filaments. When printed in TPU LW (Lightweight), it becomes incredibly soft, compressible, and tactile—perfect for showing off flexible materials.
Complex Geometry: Features smooth, organic transitions from three pipes into one. This geometry highlights the advantage of 3D printing over traditional manufacturing methods like milling or casting.
Versatile Application: Use it as a technical sample to show clients, a stress-relief toy due to its squishy nature (when printed in TPU), or a cool industrial-style display piece.
Universal Compatibility: While designed with flexible materials in mind, this model prints perfectly in rigid materials like PLA, PETG, or ASA if you want a sturdy, hard-wearing technical prop.
How to Print:
Material Recommendation: The model in the photos was printed using eSUN TPU LW (Lightweight TPU). This foaming material gives it a unique matte texture and extreme flexibility.
Standard TPU: It also works great with standard TPU (95A) for a rubber-like finish.
Rigid Printing: If printing in PLA or PETG for a rigid look, standard settings apply.
Wall Settings: For the "squishy" effect seen in the photos, use a low number of wall loops (perimeters) and low infill (or 0% infill with enough top/bottom layers) to keep the walls thin and flexible.
No Supports Needed: The geometry is optimized for FDM printing with self-supporting angles. You can print this model completely without support structures.
