The 60 mm Pipe Cover is a 3D-printed cover designed to fit onto 60 mm pipes. The purpose of this design is to prevent debris, small objects, and other unwanted materials from entering the pipe. The cover uses a friction-fit design, allowing it to be installed and removed without needing screws, glue, or extra hardware. This project was designed in Onshape and printed using PETG filament to create a durable and functional part.
I have decided that the second pipe is easier for me to buy from the store as there is already an existing one and the one i had made had failed. i also printed the second version of the pipe cover and it did not fit so i have restored the old four hole version and deleted those holes and created 3 mm holes instead to follow a similar design the failed one.
i designed the first draft for the second pipe “cover” as there is two, with this pipe i decided too go for a different approach and have the “cover” go on the inside instead of covering it form the outside
I learned about custom features in onshape. and discovered the fill pattern feature. which basically fills a object within boundaries with what ever shape/ hole you want. this proved very useful. in insuring that the air can flow naturally. i also tested the first design for a fit and it was perfect. i am now printing V2
I built the first version of my design some of my worries are that there might not be enough holes and the pla i am 3d printing these out of might warp in the heat
