T-Stück 3D drucken: Parametrischer Schlauch-/Rohr-Adapter für deine Maße

With our generator you can create a T-piece exactly according to your requirements: Innen-/Außenyourchmesser (ID/OD) and Lengths set, check preview, export STL and in Profiqualität 3D printed.

Hydraulics Hose connector adapter CAD-free
3D-printedes T-Stück: Abzweig with cleaner Passung an Schläuchen
Parametric T-piece - ID/OD and lengths freely definable.

Use cases & Advantages

  • Hose manifold for workshop, aquaristics, suction, pneumatics (low-pressure).
  • Rohr-adapter für prototypes & Versuchsanordnungen.
  • True to size without CAD: ID/OD and Längen frei definieren, Varianten in Minuten.

parameters im Überblick (ID/OD & Länge)

parameters Description Example
x_lLength main tube (X-axis)60 mm
x_odAußenyourchmesser Hauptrohr20 mm
x_idinner diameter Hauptrohr12 mm
z_lBranch length (Z-axis)30 mm
z_odAußenyourchmesser Abzweig18 mm
z_idinner diameter Abzweig10 mm

Make sure that the wall thickness (OD - ID) / 2 at least ~1.2 mm beträgt; für robuste parte lieber 2.0-3.0 mm.

Fits & tolerances (plug-in/press fit)

Kind Reference value (ID vs. tube OD) Note
Press fit ID = Tube OD - 0.10...0.20 mm Nur bei exakt kalibriertem printer; ggf. leicht erwärmen.
Plug fit ID = Tube OD + 0.20...0.40 mm Gut lösbar, dichtet with Klemmschelle.
Sliding seat ID = Tube OD + 0.40...0.60 mm Für Yourchleitungs-/Testaufbauten.

Indicative values for FDM; vary depending on printer, nozzle, material and calibration.

printtipps & materials

  • material: PETG (tough), ASA (UV/outdoor), PLA for prototypes. For sealing lips: Print TPU separately.
  • Layer height: 0.16-0.24 mm; Perimeter: 4-5 for pressure-bearing walls; infill: 20–40 %.
  • Alignment: Hauptrohr horizontal, Abzweig nach top; inner möglichst wenig support.
  • Rework: Lightly deburr; finely sand sealing surfaces if necessary.

Step-by-step to STL

  1. Tube/pipe Outer Ø (OD) & if applicable. Inside Ø (ID) measure (calipers).
  2. x_id/z_id anhand gewünschter Passung wählen (Tabelle top).
  3. x_od/z_od so that the wall thickness is ≥1.2 mm.
  4. Lengths x_l/z_l according to assembly requirements.
  5. preview prüfen → STL exportieren → print beauftragen.

OpenSCAD-Snippet (core logic)

// T-piece automatically generated x_l = 60; x_od = 20; x_id = 12; z_l = 30; z_od = 18; z_id = 10; $fn = 100; difference() { union() { // main pipe (X-axis) translate([-x_l/2, 0, 0]) rotate([0, 90, 0]) cylinder(h = x_l, d = x_od); // branch (Z-axis) cylinder(h = z_l, d = z_od); } // Inner bore X translate([-x_l/2, 0, 0]) rotate([0, 90, 0]) cylinder(h = x_l, d = x_id); // Inner bore Z cylinder(h = z_l + 0.2, d = z_id); }

The differentiated inner bore produces clean channels; the +0.2 mm at the branch helps to avoid steps.

FAQ

Can the T-piece withstand pressure?

For Low pressure and media without high temperatures. For compressed air/high pressure please specify - we advise on material/wall thicknesses or alternative procedures.

How do I make it denser?

Use push-fit with clamp, print TPU sealing rings or use sealing tape. More perimeter increases tightness.

Can I mix hose sizes?

Yes - set x_id/x_od and z_id/z_od different. Ensure sufficient wall thicknesses.
