Five Way PVC Pipe Splitter

thingiverse

This piece is designed to split one half inch PVC pipe into four other half inch PVS pipes. Air can efficiently flow through one PVS pipe, enter the splitter, and meet four other PVS pipes. At each opening of the total four pipes' connecting areas, there is a ring stopper lip to prevent the PVS from being pushed too deep within the pipe. The four pipes consist of sweeps that all end at the same line and all end parallel to a vertical axis. This allows the piece to be printed up from the four-sided end. Having a gradual curve into the starting pipe, no supports are needed to print. The pipe stand is used to stabilize the PVS pipe of which the splitter connects from, helped out by its connecting stand spikes (3 of which should be printed). The pipe spike is used to stake the pipe into the ground in order to further stabilize the whole set up.
