Need suggestion how to print this shape

Ender Series Creality Ender-3 V3 KE/SE
1

Hi!
I’m a new user of the Ender 3 v2 printer which I think is a nice beginner printer.

I make my models in FreeCAD and everything is fine, until now.

I have to print out some T and Y shape pipe with thread on the one pipe, see on the picture what I need to print…
I made the 3D model in FreeCAD but I really can’t imagine how to print this shape/model on my 3D printer.

Should I print the part of the T or Y shape in 3 parts and glue them together or ?

Is this really possible to print a objects like this?

Any suggestions I would really appreciate.

I would print with something like 10% supports with the thread pointing upwards.

Using Creality Print…?

For the T fitting I would try like what @Bonfireman said. Also the opposite way with supports. (Large opening laying on the plate). Try different ways.

The main thing I would look out for is keeping the threaded part away from any supports or you’ll just have to clean them up.

So, you think this kind of part’s are possible to print on the Ender 3 v2 printer.

I will give a try…

It is printable but I haven’t had much luck in getting threads to work well, that one looks of a size that could run a die over it to sharpen/cleanup the thread.
