Bottle or Canister Clamp / Mount

thingiverse

Create a simple over-arm clamp for holding down a portable gas canister by following these steps. You'll need plastic or wooden parts including Gas_canister_mounting_bracket_LH, Gas_canister_mounting_bracket_RH, and Gas_canister_mounting_bracket_overarm. Additionally, you'll require M4x12 hex head bolts, M6x20 hex head bolts, M6 nuts, and 6mm washers. Assemble the LH and RH brackets using short M4 bolts and then insert the over-arm ends into the cavities of the assembled bracket base. Fit an M6 bolt with washers and a nut as the hinge, followed by another bolt, washers, and nut at the other end. Repeat the process to make multiple clamps for various objects. To use the clamp, tighten the non-hinge nut/bolt once the over-arm is around the desired object. Mount the clamp with two 6mm holes aligned with the channels in the clamp body. The provided source files can be scaled to accommodate different sizes of objects; this particular design works for 60-70mm diameter items. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy clamping!
