13/14 Pit Design! 3620
Hey Chief Delphi,
as CAD Lead for this upcoming 2013/2014 season, we've started to design a pit made of pvc piping. I've just cadded all the fittings in creo 2.0 student edition because I just couldn't seem to find any .prt files of pvc fittings.
We're thinking of using a few pieces of clear acrylic or pvc in the structure, especially in the front to put some rope LEDs through the pipe!
*so far* it'll have eighteen 5' pieces, twenty 4' pieces, and nine 2' pieces. The pieces combine with or without the two foot pipes to create an 8'x8' or 10'x10' pit.
Attached is a zip file of the fittings I cadded today including:
a cross
elbow
tee
coupling
3-way corner connector
and a tee with side outlet
Soon I'll upload the whole assembly including renderings!
If you have any additions, or critiques on my cad ( ), any comments would be appreciated!
