Maker Pipe Minis | 3D Modeling Connectors

If you can model it, you can build it! Maker Pipe Minis are a simple and fun way to plan your DIY pipe builds. These small scale replicas of our connector system are made of plastic and pair with off the shelf coffee stirrers. 3D modeling your build with Maker Pipe Minis allows you to see what connectors you need for your project. The mini connectors make the same connections that the regular connectors make so you can plan out your build exactly. One pack includes...

Description

The planning stage of a DIY pipe build can be difficult. We wanted to make planning just as easy as building with Maker Pipe so we created these mini connectors. Coffee stirrers fit easily into the open ends of the connectors easily so you can learn building techniques that translate to the real thing. If you have a 3D printer you can get the stl files for free down below and print your own.

Nice way to model projects

I'm fed up with the expensive digital cad subscriptions. This was so much easier and hands on. If you've got a 3d printer, even the tiny cheaper ones, it's almost free.

Excellent Planning Tool

I've used the Maker Pile system for several years, but just recently started using the Maker Pipe Minis to plan my projects. They allow me to quickly look at design alternates, and decide which one is best. They are also very useful in generating a parts list for each design alternative.

Not bad for $5

decent bundle of connectors but the pieces don't seem to be cleaned up after they're produced. so it can be difficult to make some connections without removing the extra plastic on the inside of them. Some of them fit well but some are too big and create a loose connection. but it's not a huge deal. it doesn't take long to remove the extra plastic.

the fact that the bundle only includes 9 out of the 13 connectors the company produces makes it difficult to create something more complex. like the adjustable 180 degree connecter for example. the description is accurate for the bundle but it would be nice to have every single piece for what I would like to create.

A great way to plan a build

And they're re-usable! I used them to plan my first build - a kayak rack. Next I'm going to build a sim-racing cockpit...
