Customizable Threaded Tube

thingiverse

A highly customizable threaded tube. The ends of the tube can be one of three types, standard tube, male threaded tube, or female threaded tube. The length and diameter of the tube is adjustable and custom text can be embossed or de-embossed onto the side of the tube. This part should replace the requirement of aluminum/carbon tubes for various projects. Several of these tubes can be connected together to make a tube of an arbitrary size. Information: Be sure to specify a longer threaded section for female ends for a better fit. This item uses the Threads OpenSCAD library (http://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/) for accurate ISO-compliant threads. All measurements on the customizer page are specified in millimeters (mm). Edit: Changed the thread tolerances to 1mm and now the threads work directly from the print. Cut a cone on the thread ends to allow an easier fit.
