Customizable Pipe / Tube (Double Sleeve)
Print Profile(1)
Description
Customizable Pipe / Tube (Double Sleeve) creates a hollow pipe with integrated sleeves on both ends, designed for symmetric pipe-to-pipe connections.
This model functions as a dedicated female–female pipe connector, allowing two pipes or tube segments to slide into the part from both sides while maintaining alignment and structural stability.
Depending on how you customize it, the model can be used as:
- a pipe or tube connector
- a vacuum hose connector or adapter base
- a modular tube coupling
- a plumbing or utility pipe prototype
- a telescope tube connector or optical assembly component
Customizable parameters
- Pipe length (exposed middle section, excluding sleeves)
- Outer diameter
- Wall thickness
- Sleeve insertion length
- Clearance for fine-tuning the fit
Standalone and system use
This model is designed primarily as a connector element, joining two pipe or tube segments together.
It can be used independently for custom tubing and prototyping, or as part of a larger modular build where multiple pipes need to be joined in a straight, aligned configuration.
Printing notes
- Designed for easy printing on common FDM printers
- Suitable for PLA and PETG
- Outer diameter and clearance can be adjusted to compensate for printer tolerances
- Printing vertically is recommended for best roundness and sleeve fit
- The model is rendered in the optimal printing orientation
