DIY CPAP Hose Stand

thingiverse

For less than $5 in wood and PLA, you can build a CPAP support stand that can retail for well over $100. These are the necessary pieces to assemble a stand and suspend a CPAP hose above a your head, so that it will not drag off the bed, get tangled around your neck or pillow during the night. One model is for ResMed AirSense 10 system and requires a ½ inch rod (wood dowel) for the 2 horizontal legs and a 5/16 rod (wood dowel) for the upright rod. The other model is for the ResMed AirMini and uses 1/4 rods for the legs and upright. Print stand, two clips plus the top clip and obtain the appropriately sized rods (wood dowel, fiberglass etc.) Get enough for the 2 horizontal legs that go between the box spring and mattress (each about 1 foot in length) and the vertical rod that holds the clips to suspend the hose (2 to 3 feet). If you want to make the unit portable so you can pack it in a suitcase, cut the upright rod in half and use the Connector Clip to join the two vertical pieces together. When printing the Connector Clip, print it in the VERTICAL position, using a RAFT and SUPPORT. Otherwise, it will cause you grief because the clips will break under stress.
