Pipe fitting

Ho progettato e stampato questo raccordo compatibile con filtro Ferplast Bluwave 05, pensato come soluzione robusta e funzionale per la gestione dei tubi.

🔧 Consiglio di stampa importante:
La stampa è fortemente consigliata in obliquo, come da orientamento del progetto, per aumentare la resistenza meccanica del raccordo e ridurre il rischio di rotture lungo le linee di layer, soprattutto in presenza di pressione o vibrazioni.

✅ Caratteristiche:

• Design solido e compatto
• Ottima tenuta e rigidità
• Stampabile senza supporti (con orientamento corretto)
• Adatto a PLA, PETG o materiali tecnici (consigliato PETG per ambienti umidi)

💡 Utilizzi possibili:
Oltre all’uso in acquari e filtri, il raccordo può essere impiegato anche in:

• sistemi di tubazioni DIY
• piccoli impianti di ricircolo acqua
• aspirazione aria
• progetti tecnici e prototipi
• automazioni e sistemi custom

Se il modello ti è utile, un 👍 o un ⭐ al progetto è sempre apprezzato!

This is a custom hose connector designed for the Ferplast Bluwave 05 aquarium filter, created to ensure strength, durability, and reliable performance.

🔧 Important printing recommendation:
For best mechanical strength, the part is strongly recommended to be printed at an angle (oblique orientation), as shown in the project setup.
This orientation significantly improves layer bonding in critical stress areas and reduces the risk of cracking under pressure or vibration.

✔ Features

• Strong and compact functional design
• Optimized for mechanical resistance
• No supports required with correct orientation
• Suitable for PLA, PETG, and technical filaments
• Excellent water flow continuity

💡 Possible applications

Although designed for aquarium filtration systems, this connector can also be used for:

• DIY water circulation systems
• Air or liquid tubing
• Small pumps and filters
• Custom plumbing projects
• Prototyping and technical builds
