Adventurer's Multi Use Mount (PVC Pipe Mount)

grabcad

The first thing you are probably asking yourself is, “What is a PVC Pipe, and why do I need it? Also, why would an “Adventure” need it?”Well, for individuals who like to spend their time outdoors, they end up acuminating a lot of gear. May it be fishing poles, a mountain bike, rock climbing rope, and the list will go own.The idea of storing fishing poles of the top of your vehicle in a PVC pipe is relatively smart and has been done, and you can Google it and see how people have done this before. However, if you look up on how to do this, it currently involves you permanently mounting the PVC pipe onto your vehicle.Well, I have designed a mount that can be used in many different manners and allows you to extend the storage are of your vehicle. The only limitations of what you can use this mount for is your imagination.In the files that have been uploaded here, I modeled out a full assembly of how the storage unit would look on top of your vehicle.Also, the uploaded files are some more informational documents. There is a full explanation pdf file that you can read through to understand this design better. Also, there are some stress test reports if you are curious about how much load this mount will take.If you want to get straight to the print, go to the SLT folder, and the STL files are there for you. They are place and pint files. The clip and mount are already orientated in the proper position to print on your 3D Printer.Thank you for your time!Hardware that will be needed for this full project:- M6 Hex Socket Head Bolts 45mm Long x 4- M6 Lock Nuts x 6- M6 Hex Socket Head Bolts 30mm Long x 2- 3-inch PVC Pipe 80 Inch Long- 3-inch PVC Pipe Cap- 3-inch PVC Pipe Plug & Cap AssyPost Note:There is an option to 3D print the nuts & bolts. But doing this, there is a vast reduction of strength and stability of the overall design. As you can see from the stress test of the nuts & bolts that are 3D Printed in PLA, there is a significant reduction in strength.
