Notes

  • Print header vertical, one end face down.
  • Printable tri-clamp: the ISO 2852 face and gasket groove are exactly standard, only the back cone behind each rim is 45° instead of 20°, so no rim overhangs more than 45° from vertical in any print orientation. Join these with the 45° clamps (printable-tri-clamp-clamps) and standard Type B gaskets; a 45° clamp fits only 45° rims, so keep a run all 45°. A 45° cone turns clamp force into face force at 1 : 1 (a 20° cone at 2.7 : 1), so tighten the clamp bolts harder or use M6.
  • Print orientation: straight parts face down; elbows, tees and crosses with one face down; horizontal bores bridge their top, so keep them small or add a light tree support inside.
  • Every clamp face is the ISO 2852 profile used across this site: 2.85 mm rim, flat face with the gasket groove (K 1.6 deep, R3 1.2 bottom, 23° walls, P2 0.8 edges) on C2, 20° back cone.
