Dangerous Ladies' 3D models for basic PVC pipe connectors.
Model by Jennifer Rezny (@quicksparrows)

.stl format. Should fit on any printer. Print with REALLY thick walls if you want them to be super durable!

A great way to make props collapsible is to split the PVC pipe and install a joint, but commercial joints tend to be either difficult to find or bulky, as they fit to the outside of the tube. 

PVC pipe, as you may have noticed, also comes in different sizes. It's measured by inner diameter, but that varies slightly depending on whether the pipe is schedule 40 or schedule 80. Annoying, right?! It can make it really hard to find something that slots into each end snugly without being too loose or too tight.

This file solves that. These printable tubes slot into each end of the PVC pipe, so you can glue it in one side and then slot that into the other part to take it apart or put it together.

You can figure out which size you need to print by looking at your PVC pipe; it should be printed right on it whether it's schedule 40 or 80.

You might also find they are a smidge tight or a smidge loose; sometimes this is because pipes can vary very slightly from company to company, and sometimes because your printer isn't calibrated well or is printing too fast to do accurate dimensions. That's okay! You can just scale the print up or down very slightly as needed.

You can also change the length of the joint by scaling it the long way up or down while keeping the other measurements locked in.
