With these connectors and different lengths of cheap and common 1/2" PVC pipe, you can construct the frame of a personalized Wendy House (or playhouse) for your miniature, chronologically-impaired, humans!The version I have built, creates a simple, 'traditional', gable-roofed, playhouse frame.NOTE: The gable end pieces are temperamental when I try to print them. The rotation I have them on the print bed is the only rotation that it doesn't break horribly with. Otherwise, the print-head knocks the model at the top of the tear-drop holes and shifts itself across - creating a geology-like shear across the modelI have included the SketchUp model which shows the sizes of the house. Should you wish to change the lengths of the pipes to scale it up or down for your own use, this model should help if you don't want to just do the maths. (The gable is 45 degrees for ease of trigonometry.)(And the reason there's two extra struts on the bottom of mine, is that I was intending to wear this hut as part of a costume for Halloween - Baba Yaga's Hut, complete with chicken legs and miniature witch inside. I didn't finish it in time!)Making a Wendy House!Print: 6x Corner pieces. 2x Left gable. 2x Right gable.Cut: 8x 70cm length 1/2" PVC pipe. 5x 80cm length 1/2" PVC pipe. 4x 49.5cm length 1/2" PVC pipe.Assemble: 1. Base. 4x Corners with 2x 70cm and 2x 80cm in opposite sides to form a rectangle, with the third connector on the corners facing upwards. 2. Uprights. 4x 70cm pipes in the open connectors on the base. You should have an 'open basket' looking shape, or a spiky crown shape. 3. Gables. Starting at one end, take 1x Left Gable and 1x Right Gable, and 1x 70cm pipe. With the 45 degree angle facing 45 degrees upwards from the horizon, socket your gable pieces on to a pair of uprights. (Pairs being the narrow end of rectangle.) Use the 70cm pipe to connect across the gable pieces, forming a rectangle on the side of your house. 4. Wall Edges. Take 2x 80cm pieces of pipe, and connect your gable ends together. You should have a cuboid now! 5. Roof. Take the 4x 49.5cm pieces of pipe and the two remaining corner connectors. Socket the short pipes into the 45 degree angle gables and then join them with the corner connectors. You should have an almost complete house - just the final roof ridge. 6. Ridge. Use the last, 80cm pipe to connect the two gable ends across the top.
