Adapter juggling - Is there a better way?

[Tul51]

Hi There,

I'm trying to build a really nice looking wall-hanging build, but I'm struggling with getting everything attached nicely - I can never get the exact lengths I need to get stuff to sit straight, and I wonder if I'm going overboard with adapters... I really wanted to avoid getting into hardtube bending, so I've stuck to 45° and 90° adapters for tubing and then these kinds of different adapters for short runs.
But it's slightly twisted, uneven - Just not sitting perfectly straight and aligned. I think getting there requires perfect lengths in all dimensions. Should I give up and try 3D tube bending? Or just order a bunch of adapters more, and see if I can find some obscure combination that will make it all fit?

Inputs and experiences appreciated.

I’m afraid I can’t really say. I don’t see how you could make that alignment work with other adapters in such a tight space. The only real option would be to reposition the connected components. Especially in the top picture, the bend is extremely tight — the 90° fittings are being pulled down on one side quite a bit, which could potentially cause leaks. I’d be careful with that.
