Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
## Basic Description
This is a way to replace plastic fittings for your mini greenhouse of this style... (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/Ohuhu-Greenhouse-Greenhouses-Portable-Outdoor/dp/B07S1LRTRK or https://www.homedepot.com/p/Outsunny-2-3-ft-x-1-64-ft-x-5-18-ft-Mini-Portable-Greenhouse-with-Shelves-84H-192V00WT/333948526). Walmart has sold something like this design too, but of course double-check your dimensions if you intend to use this - Should be ~483mm long, accepting 16mm aluminum tubing for starters. This design is broken into three parts connected by dovetails so that you can print with a bed area that can fit the ~215mm center segment.
## Other Relevant Information
- I've also just been mirroring the end piece in Orca to get the far-end of the fitting, so there's no second `.scad` or `.stl` file if you're doing your own slicer arrangements.
- All of the Orca files are for a Qidi Q2, printing ASA.
- For connecting the three parts, I've just used acetone solvent welding, and this has seemed quite strong. Tbf, the parts have only seen a few weeks' wear/stress however.
## Precautions
- This is _not_ a thoroughly planned-out codebase. The point was just to get this replacement part out there b/c my plants are taking off, and I'm sure other people own these (mine are maybe 4y old?) living in windy areas where the old plastic has broken in the wind.
- I found that a 16.1mm ID _on my particular printer_ did allow the existing 16mm aluminum tubes to fit, but _very_…
