Original Summary
Ever need to connect two pipes of slightly different sizes together? I kept opening CAD and spending more minutes tweaking designs than it should take for such a simple task, (especially getting connectors and tapers at each end designed.)<p>I finally made the tool that I've wanted forever: specify a couple of diameters, lengths, and bends and get a quick, exportable STL/3MF of my design in seconds rather than minutes/hours.<p>My personal use case was connecting vacuum hoses together in my workshop.<p>You can make practical designs: <a href="https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~26|26.5~2.5~26&b=45~22~16~2.2~1~1&e0=chamfer~4.3~0.7~1~0.5&eN=chamfer~1~1~7.1~1.3&view=-0.31,1.475,224,14.3,14.6,-16" rel="nofollow">https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~26|26.5~2.5~26&b...</a><p>Silly designs: <a href="https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~11|12~2~112|12~2~30|12~2~30|12~2~112|12~2~3&b=45~22~12~2~1~1|180~160~12~2~1~1|-90~4~12~2~1~1|180~160~12~2~1~1|45~22~12~2~1~1&e0=chamfer~0.9~0.7~0~0&eN=fit~outside~8~0.4~1.2~0.8&render=copper&view=0.081,1.514,737.6,-51.3,131.3,-245.8" rel="nofollow">https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~11|12~2~112|12~2...</a><p>or outrageous ones: <a href="https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~19|27.5~4.6~32|7.5~14.6~32&b=50~22~4~9.5~0~0|56~22~7.5~4.6~1~1&e0=flange~5~2.5~4~3&eN=barb~1.2~3~6&render=clay&expanded=1&view=0.055,1.416,237,19.4,74.5,15" rel="nofollow">https://mankyd.github.io/pipefitter/#s=12~2~19|27.5~4.6~32|7...</a><p>And because all the parameters are in the url, its easy to bookmark and share whatever you find interesting.<p>I hope you find it useful, or at least interesting and fun.
