1/4-28" (UNF) flat bottom, female threaded straight union core
with 1.00mm channel bore and integrated inlet/ outlet O-rings.

The part is to be used as the chemically resistant channeled core of a straight union connector. The combined Core-shell structure is to be used for unifying two separate lines of tubing via two feruled male threaded nuts. (see 'Union connector (SHELL)' for shell counterpart).

Part is to be printed in Polypropylene in horizontal orientation such that both integrated O-rings are facing outward. A 0.1mm layer and 100% infill is required along with a material flow rate of 110%. The part can be integrated into its PLA shell structure by loading both core and shell components into the slicing software, and positioning the core at coordinates X:0, Y:0, Z:1.5. and the shell at X:0, Y:0, Z:0. Once grouped (by selecting both parts, right click and select 'Group Models), the part should be raised 10mm above the build plate and a PLA support scaffold should be generated along with a 10mm PLA adhesion brim.
