Description

Parametric, fully 3D printable Pipe Bender I designed last Sunday to fight boredom and save 20€.

Bending radius should be more than 3 times the diameter of the heatpipe and no more than 90 degrees.

Three holes for up to 6mm, up to 8mm and up to 10mm heatpipe diameter.

Tolerance of 0.2mm worked fine for a Replicator 5th (no sanding nor drilling required).
Adjust it to your needs in the OpenScad file or with the Customizer.

I'll upload the .stl files for a radius of 30mm, you can change it to your specific value in the OpenScad file or with the Customizer.

Dimensions in [mm]


Update1 (RC2.scad):
Rounded the bending lever for smoother results.

Update2 (RC3.scad):
Set the default back to r=30mm and updated the .stl

Update3 (RC4.scad):
Turned the lever 90 degrees again for easier printing of the axle mounting hole

Update4 (RC5.scad):
Bending lever is rounded only on the backside now as it should be

Update5 (RC6.scad):
Fixed an error for high radius bending lever and tolerance variable is a constricted slider now

Update7 (RC7.scad):
Colored the preview and reduced the amount of material for r>39

Update8 (RC8.scad):
Option to change the handle position for bends >90 degrees up to 180

Update9 (RC9.scad):
Added option for custom pipe diameters up to 16 mm
