3D Printed pipe fittings have to be one of the worst 3D printing applications I've ever heard of. We use metal fittings for a reason.
Plenty of plumbing is done with moulded plastic pipes and fittings, and I've 3D printed garden hose fittings (things like GHT to BSP adapters, which aren't easy to buy) with success, so it's not like moulding is the only way to make plastic good enough.
