Leaping Arch Base for UK sized supports

This leaping arch base is designed for UK sized fittings although can be easily adapted in Fusion360 by adjusting parameters as required.

A cable outlet is included.
You will need two prints, mirror the second Print along the x axis so the cable outlets are both at the back!

The conduit for support can be obtained from B&Q (20mm MK conduit) - https://www.diy.com/departments/mk-pvc-white-conduit-length-l-2m-dia-20mm/109150_BQ.prd

The tubing for the arch itself is a 19mm OPAQUE coil available from

Printing

This print does not need to be high quality.
I used - 

material - PETG
layer height - 0.20mm
Infill - 20%

Changing the arch angle

The angle of the arch is set to .1 degree (almost straight up).  It's not possible to set to 0 without f360 complaining.  Common angles may be 5 or 10 degrees.  Change as per your requirement.

Changing the model

The model parameters can all be changed in f360 to suit your requirements.

The arch support thickness is 4mm with an additional 5mm for the screw hole.  This is so a ½ inch screw will just make contact with the arch without damaging it (as a sharp screw may cause damage)

Assembly

To assemble an arch, you will need to work out the size of support tube and the size of the polypro arch tube required.

My shopping list - 

• 1m conduit for the base.
• 1.9 m polypro for the arch.
• pixel strip (I used 60/m total 111 - 37 sections of 3)
• 2 printed bases (mirrored)
• 6 no8 ½" Pan head self tapping screws
• Heatshrink to suit
• 2 BALS pigtails (or whichever pigtails you use)

Instructions - 

1. Cut pixel strip to size
2. solder pigtail to female end and use heatshrink as required.
3. Push Male pigtail (the one with the cap) through bottom of Base and then solder to pixel strip.  Use heatshrink as required.
4. Push female pigtail (the one without the screw cap) into the polypro arch.
5. Use screws to secure base and arch.

Final assembly -

Use tent pegs and additional conduit to secure as required.
