Broom holder (print in place)

prusaprinters

<p>Originally I have designed this to hang the broom at the wall but this mount can also be useful to attach any tools with cylindrical handles. I know it sounds a lot easier just to drill a hole to the broom handle and hit a nail into the wall but:</p><ol><li>I am not allowed to use nails in our apartment</li><li>to solve this problem with a nail does not satisfy my print-in-place hinge addiction at all ;)</li></ol><p>I have seen a lot of similar solutions but all of those used metal rivets or nuts &amp; bolts. This is a print-in-place design with built in hinges so no need for assembly.</p><p>The uploaded STLs are sized to fit to my LEIFHEIT broom's telescopic handle (~≥24 mm diameter) but as I attached the Fusion 360 file you can alter it by changing the <i>d_broome</i> parameter. My advice is to reduce the mount's internal diameter by ~0.2-0.4 mm in order to create some tension - the built in spring has enough reserve to hold it tight.</p><p>I have also created a model with a T shaped bottom mount which lets you to attach the mount without any screws just by using 3M's amazing velcro-based Command tape.</p><p>Update #2021-04-20: fixed a missing fillet in the CAD file and on the model with the 3M Command tape mount.</p>
