Modular PEX Hub with Stake
Created 1 months ago
Remixed once
Description
An inline four-way tee fitting for standard 1/2" PEX, featuring an integrated top-mounted adjustable water dripper. Built to string together in series for garden irrigation loops.
This version features a modular two-piece base, splitting the long ground stake away from the main distribution body.
- Connections: Four 1/2" PEX barbs form a versatile hub. Unused branches can be sealed with the included block-off cap.
- Metering: A threaded upper cap with an internal conical needle regulates flow rate out of a 2mm orifice.
- Removable Stake: A heavy-duty 6-inch threaded stake screws firmly into the bottom of the hub, printing flat for strength.
- Printing Note: The separated stake prints easily lying down, while the base requires supports beneath the horizontal barbs to print correctly on the bed.

FlowLink Threaded Extension Pipe
A fully 3D-printable, 12-inch extension pipe designed for infinite stacking. The standard slip-fit ends have been replaced with integrated 3mm-pitch metric threads, allowing multiple segments to be screwed together securely without glue. Threaded joints: 21mm male thread with a matching 21.6mm female thread cut into the base, providing 0.6mm of clearance. Support-free design: Internal transitions use 45-degree tapers, eliminating the need for internal supports. Slim profile: Maintains a 25mm outer diameter with a robust 3mm wall.
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.
8mm Tank Bulkhead Fitting
M18 threaded bulkhead fitting engineered to pass an 8mm inner-diameter irrigation hose securely through a plastic tank lid. Interface: M18x2 thread with an independent hex locking nut. Sealing: Recessed O-ring groove on the interior flange face (2.5mm wide) to provide a watertight seal against the tank wall. Hose Barb: Double retaining barbs with a reinforced transition cone to handle clamping forces. Clearance: The hex nut is designed to slide freely over the 10.2mm barbs and internal threads are sized for clean printing in PETG. Both components are oriented to print flat on the bed without supports.
TroughTrek — Modular Escape Ramp
A modular wildlife escape ramp built to saddle the rim of a 150-gallon stock tank. Designed to hang tight against the straight section of the wall, it leaves the center of the trough wide open while providing a secure path out of the water. Features Modular Assembly: Print the sections flat and slot them together using the flush integrated joints. Safe Traction: Half-cylinder ribs spaced evenly along the ramp offer grip without sharp edges that could catch paws or hooves. Dual Path: Includes both an inner descent into the water and an optional exterior ramp leading down to the ground. Rim Saddle: The central mount is contoured to slot cleanly over a standard 40mm rolled trough rim. Dimensions Width: 150mm (approx 6 inches) Incline: 35 degrees Segment Length: 300mm per section, yielding a ~344mm vertical drop per side (well below the typical waterline).
Blockhouse Sofa Console
A modular, flat-bottom console designed to bridge a couch cushion or rest flat on an ottoman. Built in two interlocking halves to clear a standard 250mm print bed, they join cleanly via six low-profile alignment pegs. Part A: Features two 80mm cupholder wells. Part B: A shallow recessed tray for snacks or plates, completely isolated from the joining mechanism so spills don't travel. Joinery: 25mm deep pegs and receivers, positioned low to leave the tray surface undisturbed. Add a little CA glue during assembly for a permanent hold.
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.
