Parameteric designs can be useful in applying on different cases later, or when some sizes change later, or when you havent figured out the sizes yet. Of course there is nothing wrong with just cooking something up that fits your needs!

I will look further into this, as I'm eager to learn how to program using conventions and protocols that keep things neat and tidy. It is spring and time to be setting up the irrigation system, and I need the pieces now. Meanwhile though, I'm happy with the simple design that is working for me now and I'm pumping out 6 to 8 per day. Am I correct in believing that they are what you need to make the design parametric, and sizable just by changing a few values? If so, then I would like to understand how to do that. I'm still very new at using Openscad, so I haven't a lot of experience with using modules and variables yet.

> Imo it is probably better to use `module` and Thanks again to you and Andrew for your collaboration in this design! You can't buy something like this at a hardware store for this price. I kind of like that this connector can be mounted to anything I want, including stakes pushed into the ground to keep it just above the soil.

When I cover one end and blow into the other, I think I can sense some air leaking out through the walls, but it may be my imagination, so I'm now printing one with 100% fill for the ones I'll be hooking up to the mains. I printed the first piece at 80% fill with 5 walls thickness. I made the taurus you provided 18mm in diameter to match the inside diameter of the pipe and there is no ridge between the pipe and the connector, as you can see in the cut away piece. I plan on using ABS to PVC transition glue to attach them to the pipe. Andrew Smith gave me the code to put the straight end in the openings and they fit perfectly snug. The second photo shows a finished connector. The abomination in the photo was my original attempt to just make a connector like you'd get a hardware store. I've attached photos - the first didn't finish because my computer stalled, but you can see inside how they look. The other is inside my greenhouse and hooking it up to the mains. The first is at a community garden where I will be sourcing the water from a 45 gallon drum using gravity feed, so it won't have any real pressure to it. I'm actually using them in two different irrigation applications, so I'll let you know how they work out. > tubing that can interlock and seal properly maybe > how feasable it is to print things like pipe and > thinwall objects working really well i want to see > running water through it, not that i have small > it'll be interesting to see how it holds up with The tube I'm putting into the holes is 22 mm. Here is my box, if it helps you to see what I'm trying to do. Your design is the right shape, but it is hollow, and I can figure out how to put it inside my box and subtract it. I can deduct simple cylinders, but the inside ends up jagged and I would like it smooth so that water can flow through unobstructed. I also made the cube with a flat spot to mount it. So, I decided that I'd make a box with a shape like what you've created, that would not be hollowed, and would be subtracted from the cube. Thanks Andrew, this would work, but I made something like this last night and it couldn't print the thin walls without it distorting from the heat.
