RC Airplane mounting bracket for 1in PVC

thingiverse

I was looking for a new way to store my RC airplanes. The idea was to design brackets that used 1” PVC pipe and could be mounted as needed.. PLA is my go-to material. My plan was to hold both foamy airplanes as well as .40-.60 size. In the pics I show a load test I did with a 24" piece of pvc with a 10lb weight attached. That was enough for my needs. The interior hole was originally designed for 3/8" dowel to be epoxied inside. Ultimately it wasn't needed. With the layer increase it strengthen the outside as well as the inside. This design uses schedule 40 1" pvc pipe. I found brands vary. I had one that fit perfectly and another that was very difficult to slide on the bracket. For those I gently heated the pvc with a heat gun and slid it over the mount. (Just a little warm was enough) gcode file is included. I sliced it with original the Prusa slicer. print time is about 9hrs 18mins/pair printed weight is about 107grams/pair Use the slicer recommendations. The additional layers really add strength.
