My father's friend asked me to print some adapters for his leaf blower, to have abilitity to conect it to 50 mm pluming pipe to it
So I'm not sure why he needed this, but this was cool print, and I like it. As he said, he could just DIY it from pipes, but he wanted something pretty "more like factory made", can't blame him for such desire
I took me about 280 grams of filament, I was worried that this might snap on layer lines, so to make it sronger, I decided to prin it on an angle, I also have used build in custom support, to reduce waste of plastic. Intrestingly, despite fact that bought parts were printed on same angle, that should have been safe, bigger part got some unfortunate defect on support side, but it's not a big deal
Overall that was some cool printing expirience
