1/2-Inch PEX Drip Manifold
Created 1 months ago
Description
A 4-way water distribution block designed to feed 1/2" PEX lines from a central throttled bore.
The core housing features a squared-off body for easier clamping, with four radial M16-threaded barbs ready to grab PEX tubing. Unused lines can be sealed using the included dead-end caps. The central bore houses an adjustable M20 needle valve to throttle the overall flow rate, and the entire assembly can be anchored into the dirt via a removable M14 spiked stake.
Critical Fitment
- Barbs: Sized for standard 1/2" ID PEX (barb OD peaks at 12.5mm).
- Base socket: The M14x2 stake receiver is a blind hole; you can run the manifold loose on the ground without water bleeding out the bottom.
- Clearances: Ensure your slicer allows roughly 0.3mm to 0.4mm clearance for the internal threads on the valve and caps.

4-Way Barb Manifold
Hoses slipping off a plain tube is a guaranteed flood. This 4-way manifold uses aggressive, precisely sized barbs to bite into soft tubing, routing one 8mm inlet into four 5mm outlets. Critical Fit Inlet: 8.2mm main shaft, 10mm max OD on three barbs. Outlets: 5.2mm main shaft, 6.7mm max OD on two barbs each. Flow: Internal bores are necked down to 3mm on the branches to preserve wall strength, expanding to a 16mm central chamber. Print it base-down. The horizontal barbs are short enough to bridge without supports if your part cooling is dialled in.
Halo Drip Irrigation Ring
This is a low-profile, continuous-loop irrigation ring designed for automated watering systems. It distributes water evenly around the base of a plant without interfering with the stem. The structure is engineered specifically for FDM printing without supports. The internal hollow channel features a teardrop cross-section so the printer can bridge the ceiling cleanly, and the external hose barb includes a small, built-in support block connecting it to the build plate. Design Notes Dimensions: 197 mm outer diameter, 173 mm inner diameter, leaving a 12 mm wide profile. Inlet: Dual-barb fitting sized for 5 mm internal diameter tubing, pointing outward to keep the hose clear of the foliage. Distribution: 12 downward-facing 1 mm drip holes spaced every 30 degrees, beginning 15 degrees offset from the inlet to ensure the first drops don't pool at the connection. Mounting: Three low-profile tabs sit on the outer perimeter, drilled for standard wire pegs to anchor the ring into the soil.
4-Way Water Manifold
A compact, print-in-place water manifold built for automated plant irrigation systems. It splits a single main feed into four independent channels with smooth internal transitions to minimize flow restriction. Inlet: Single center-mounted fitting sized for 8mm ID hose. Outlets: Four equally-spaced fittings sized for 5mm ID hose. Barbs: Dual retaining ridges on all connections to prevent slip-offs under pressure. Internal Channels: Fully hollowed 7mm common chamber with spherical transitions to eliminate dead zones and sharp fluid corners.
Anti-Spill Armrest Caddy
Sofa arms are basically designed to launch drinks onto the rug the second you shift your weight. This drops a rigid U-channel over the armrest to bridge the gap, locking down a flat staging plate on one side and a deep cup holder into the other. Specifications Total Length: 200 mm Inner Channel Width: 185 mm (verify this clears your sofa arm) Cup Holder: 80 mm diameter, 32 mm depth Print Specs: Prints hollow to save time and material. No supports needed if your bridging is dialled in.
Pendant Canopy With 50mm Mount
Electrical brackets that don't line up with standard covers leave you with a gaping hole in the ceiling and wires hanging out. This ceiling canopy replaces the usual single-point hook system with a direct two-screw mount spaced exactly 50mm apart to mate perfectly with standard central hub brackets. Canopy Diameter: 105mm to comfortably bridge rough plaster holes. Mounting Holes: Spaced at exactly 50mm center-to-center with 5mm clearance for standard bracket screws. Core Pass-through: 8mm internal channel easily clears standard twin-core lighting cable.
Reinforced 8mm Irrigation Y-Splitter
A heavily reinforced Y-shaped hose connector built specifically to merge two fluid lines into one. Designed for 8mm inner-diameter flexible tubing, it uses a solid central hub rather than thin overlapping walls, ensuring the part handles pressure without snapping at the junction. The internal geometry is sculpted to maintain flow: a 6mm channel through the main body prevents a bottleneck at the merge, smoothly necking down to 5mm inside the barbs to guarantee thick, watertight perimeters where the plastic gets thinnest. A precision flat cut on the underside allows the entire assembly to drop straight onto the build plate, completely eliminating the need for support material. Remix Hooks & Constraints Hose Fit: The double barbs peak at 8.5mm OD and drop to a 7.2mm valley, grabbing 8mm ID silicone or vinyl hose tightly. Print Settings: Built for PETG or ABS. Use 4 to 5 perimeters to ensure watertightness and maximum mechanical strength against bending forces. Scaling: Scaling up works cleanly for larger hose (e.g., 125% for 10mm ID), but scaling down is not recommended as the internal channel will restrict flow and the walls may drop below the required thickness for a watertight seal.
