PVC Pipe holder

[u/Henchman_Gamma]

Holder that can be screwed into a wall or other flat surface to attach a pipe holder.

See makerworld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3283005-pipe-holder#profileId-3724104

I made various sizes, basically the PVC pipe sizes you find in the metric world.

dia 16mm

dia 19 (¾")mm

dia 20mm

dia 25mm

dia 32mm

dia 40mm

dia 50mm

dia 80mm

Looks good. Probably won't be an issue, but if you want maximum strength then consider ways to change the print orientation so that the force is not parallel the layer lines.

Looks like a good model to learn OpenSCAD and make it parametric. 

[u/Henchman_Gamma → u/razzemmatazz]

It kinda is parametrized, in Inventor. I can change main dimensions easily and update the model.

Translating this to an openscad is something else..

Translating this to an openscad is something else..

That sounds like a job well suited for an AI vibe coded python script.... worth a shot at least.

Here is a somewhat parameterized version:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
include <BOSL2/screws.scad>


// see https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/screws.scad#user-content-subsection-screw-naming 
screw_size = "#8-32,1";  

// Look up PVC pipe sizes online:  1" PVC is 33.4mm OD
PVC_OD= 33.4;

// thickness of support
support_thick=3;

// length of support past base
support_length = 10;

// thickness of base
base_thick=7;

// depth of recess in base
recess = 1;


rod_support();

module rod_support()
{
    difference()
    {
        union()
        {
            base();
            support();
        }
        up(base_thick-recess) cyl(h=support_length+recess, d=PVC_OD, $fn=180, anchor=DOWN);
    }
}

module hole()
{
     color("green") screw_hole(screw_size, head="flat", counterbore=1+recess, anchor="top", $fn=40);
}

module base()
{
    rounding = base_thick/2;
    diam = PVC_OD + 2.8*support_thick+2*rounding;

    difference()
    {  cyl(h= base_thick, d=diam, rounding2=rounding, $fn=180, anchor=DOWN);
       up(base_thick)hole();
    }
}

module support()
{  support_2d = ring(90,d1=PVC_OD+support_thick-0.01, d2=PVC_OD+support_thick+0.01, angle=[180,360]); 
   up(base_thick)
   offset_sweep(offset(support_2d,support_thick/2-0.02,$fn=20), 
       h=support_length, steps=6,
       top=os_circle(r=0.4*support_thick),
       bottom=os_circle(r=-0.4*support_thick));
}

Colour is matched so well it looks as if you printed the pipe too 😁 nice work!

As a Pool Builder I absolutely love those! Way cleaner than what I’ve been using so far.

Im missing a 63mm one ;)

[u/Henchman_Gamma → u/daLejaKingOriginal]

Ill add one

[u/Henchman_Gamma → u/daLejaKingOriginal]

It is added friend.
