Downspout Adapter 3x4x3 (f3d included for easy customization)
I have used one of these since the beginning of 2021, and it is still working perfectly.
Because it's PETG and has multiple walls, it is very strong.
Hitting it with the lawn mower, does not break it. LOL
The model is available for free download and use.

Background:
One of our Downspout Adapters got old and cracked. I looked for the exact design in HomeDepot and Lowes. They had different models but not the exact same one. So instead of shipping it in, I thought I would just print it. It was an easy design. Plus I could get a very close fit and a slightly better design than an off-the-shelf product.
Instructions:
Must print with PETG or some durable material (Not ABS / PLA).
Because it is outside exposed to all the elements.
Used the Tree Support to print - uses less plastic, faster and works better.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure you use a 99% or 100% infill as otherwise the print will Fail at the point the part is transitioning from the drain insert to the downspout adapter !!!
Design & Customization:
The design works better than the off-the-shelf Adapter as it fits inside of the drain pipe.
However, please check the measurements for your drain pipe opening with a caliper, because it is meant for precise and custom fit.
The f3d will allow you to edit the measurements super easily in the Sketch.
And that will automatically translate into the extrusion so you don't have to worry about anything else!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be very careful when installing the adapter. I can't be liable for any damages.
Thanks!
