3D model description

Some connector bitz to use drinking straws as pipes in your scratchbuild wargaming terrain.

For a long time now I avoided using drinking straws in my wargaming scenery builds because i simply didn't like the bending part. It always squished and looked arkward.
Today i came up with this rather simple but effective solution. 3D printed connectors!

The drinking straws I had had a inner diameter of 6.6mm.

If your drinking straws have a different diameter just calculate the needed scaling using the excel sheet i added or by hand [("your diameter" x 100) / 6,6]

There is a version of each connector with and without the part that goes into the drinking straw to secure it.
