Camp Stove Canister Mount

thingiverse

I found that none of the existing stove canister mounts were working for my canisters; different canister sizes has small variations in dimension, and would not snap in reliably; sometimes they fit well, other times they were too loose. This one fits all three canister sizes very well; the parabolic arm has enough range to accomodate some size variation, and is easy to remove the canister. It uses M3 x 12 socket head cap screws to attach the arms to the center ring. There is one design for Freestanding, and another which is Surface Mount (shorter arms, holes to screw it down to a surface... like a car camping table) Provideded as STLs, Solidworks part with both configurations, parasolid, and STEP. I print this on the Ultimaker with stock settings for PLA. However, I have not yet had a chance to test this material in a cold environment... hopefully it is not too brittle.
