5 Gal Bucket Siphon Hose Clip

thingiverse

This clip was designed to hold an aquarium siphon hose firmly to a 5 gallon bucket. I took inspiration from model created by jtwlo http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4587307. I liked the design but because it can be only printed (without support) with layers running perpendicular to the arm clip, it can snap there. Also I wanted something a little more compact. In my design the clip can be printed on it's side so the layers will run parallel with arm clip to give it more strength. My buckets were bought from the big blue box store. I have several and the top lip height varies from bucket to bucket but it hovers around 60mm. I have include files for 58mm, 59mm, 60mm, 61mm, and 62mm because of the variations. If it prints out slightly short you can simply cut a notch out from the lip bottom with a sharp blade and carefully shave off a few mm. The hook on the end has some small grooves and will help it snap into place.
