I needed to make some tubes to hold TIG filler rod. I had left over electrical ducting tube which is 32mm OD. The problem with this is there is no standard plastic end caps for electrical ducting and its not a standard size for water pipe. So how to solve it? 3D print my own end caps.
I also wanted to have a good way of mounting the tubes to the welding cart. So I had a think and came up with a mounting frame that will hold the tubes and allow the frames to be clamped to the cart with some strong cable ties.
Pic #1 and Pic #2: Are renders of the two parts that have have been printed.
Pic #3: Is an over view of the final result with the end caps on the bottom of the tubes with the tubes mounted in the clamping frames and those frames cable tied to the cart.
Pic 4: Is a close up to a clamping frame. You can see the black cable tie used to hold things to the cart.
Pic 5: Is a close up to the end caps which have been superglued to the ends of the tubes.
Cheers,
James.
