Custom Section CORNER SECTION X 3 Cut 9 pieces of ABS pipe of 1.25 inch. Make sure it's flush when connecting 2 part together. Use 3 X ABS DWV Hub x Hub x Hub Sanitary Tee Use 6 x DWV 60 Degree Hub Use ABS Cement Cut your pipes. Assemble one ABS DWV Hub x Hub x Hub Sanitary Tee with 2 DWV 60 Degree Hub using the 1.25 pipe cut earlier. This is crucial, you weed to align the small line from the Tee with the 60 degrees, once you know how to align them retry with ABS cement. They must be glue like the picture bellow (all 3 corner sections). Do this 3 times! The small lines on the side of the Tee must be aligned with the line on the 60 degrees hub. PIPE SECTION Cut 3 pieces of 7.25 inch ABS pipe. Cut your pipes. Assemble the pipes to the CORNER SECTION so the result is a big triangle. Make sure that all pipes when assembled give the same length when assembled. Don't cement this since you need some lose when you will install this on the main frame. The result should look likes the image bellow. The final frame with the BED should look like this. Please note the 3 remaining 1.25 inch pipe are used to lock the BED FRAME on the bottom section. No cement are required since we want to be able to remove the BED FRAME on maintenance. I used a 16" inch 5mm sphere glass for the BED from an hardware store (they cut glass on demand). I used a skins on the glass so the PLA stick to it without heated bed or blue tape. http://www.printinz.com/printinz-3d-printer-skins/
