Description
I made a filament rack out of PVC and printed the fittings. These are a fairly tight fit for ½"PVC. I didn't need glue but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. I tested out if I could glue PVC to PLA with PVC glue and primer, PVC glue no primer, and super glue. All those methods of gluing worked great.
There are 2 main fittings. The base tee90 and the regular tee90. I designed them to be optimized for printing. The other parts are optional. I made plugs for the open ends of the unused tee90's and a plug foot for the front. It adds a bit of stability and a lot of pleasing aesthetics. I made some 90's for the top rack. Those are not at all necessary but I think they look good.
Printed on Prusa Core One
