Welcome to the improved revision of my snap-in pipe clamp design, now with more diameters and additional wall distances! This versatile design is optimized for the FFF process with various filaments, ensuring a quick print without supports while using minimal material. The result is a functional and robust part.
When printed with PETG or ASA, the clamping force is sufficient to hold pipes along a wall without any additional fasteners. For ceiling mount or heavy pipes, there are openings for securing the clamp using a zip tie.
This project page features the improved revision B of the design. Please note that the dimensions are not the same as revision A, but you can still download the older models from the original page.
Dimensions
The part number and file name follow this format:
LR2209-P<...>-H<...>-W<...>-D<...>.3mf
Pipe Diameter (D)
The pipe diameter is specified with a number and its unit. A range of metric and imperial pipe sizes is available, covering a wide array of standard pipe diameters. The seemingly unusual numbers are due to the imperial sizes being based on NPS values, while the metric ones are roughly based on DN-values for plastic pipes.
Wall Distance (W)
The wall distance is specified in millimeters. It represents the distance between the pipe and the wall after installation.
Profile Width (H)
The profile width is specified in millimeters. All models on this project page have a width of 20mm.
Profile Thickness (P)
The profile thickness is represented by a symbolic number. All models on this project page have a thickness of 2, which is equal to 2.54mm.
Example Design for Fusion
In the model file section, you’ll find the file Clamp Extrusion Example.f3d for Fusion. It demonstrates how to create this type of clamp and provides a good starting point if you would like to integrate these clamps into your own designs.
This improved revision of the pipe clamps, along with the additional wall distances, offers you more flexibility when fastening pipes to a wall.
