Customizable Pipe Reducer Parametric
Print Profile(2)
Description
Design your own perfectly sized pipe reducer with this fully parametric OpenSCAD model.
This model allows you to generate custom reducers by simply adjusting a few parameters—ideal for 3D printing adapters for ventilation, plumbing, dust collection, or DIY projects.
🔧 Features
- Fully parametric design
- Adjustable:
- Inside diameter (main pipe)
- Reduction diameter (outlet)
- Wall thickness
- Inlet length (straight section)
- Transition length (taper)
- Outlet length (straight section)
- Smooth tapered transition for better airflow and strength
- Clean geometry optimized for 3D printing
🧰 Use Cases
- Ventilation adapters (HVAC)
- Dust collection systems
- Workshop hose reducers
- DIY plumbing (non-pressurized recommended)
- Custom lab or electronics enclosures
🖨️ Printing Tips
- Print vertically for best strength and roundness
- Use 3–5 perimeters for durability
- Increase wall thickness for pressure applications
- Add slight tolerance (+0.2–0.4 mm) to diameters for slip fit depending on your printer
