Hello, I am new customer here and happy user of Maker Pipe connectors.
My latest projects requirements unfortunately are not of a static nature, and require more than a press fit to hold things more securely. So I have been modifying the tubes with a couple pseudo dies, bench press, vice and drill to fit into the MP connectors more permanently via the existing MP connector bolt and nut. Although in some instances I have had to drill extra holes on the MP connectors, themselves, for additional support of the tubes, something I did not want to do, reason for coming up with the attached jig for making the tube ends conform to the connector geometry more securely and cleanly. Food for though perhaps a set of professionally done dies that would allow a user to do what I am doing with the vice and press, would make it easier for the user to do the same at home.
Please excuse the rough sketch, I sketch in the mornings while having breakfast, but eventually I take the more serious sketches into CAD. I think the gist of the process is there though. Any questions just let me know. BTW can you guess what the parts in the second photo are for?
