Equate 34oz or Target 32oz Hand Sanitizer holder - Anti-theft Wall Mount Remix - NEW VERSION

prusaprinters

<p>This is an updated anti-theft version of the wall mount for my "Equate 34oz or Target 32oz Hand Sanitizer holder - Wall Mount Remix" which you can find at the link below:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213018/files">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213018/files</a></p> <p>The bottle holder part is the same as the model in the above linked version (so it can be interchanged with it).</p> <p>This is just designed to keep the bottle of (now difficult to get) hand sanitizer from walking away, but won't stop somebody with a screwdriver, or a destructive impulse. Still it may help at least stop a casual thief. It has a spring actuated locking mechanism which is released using a small coin (like a penny).</p> <p>This will require a spring from a cheap click pen like one of these:<br/> https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Retractable-Medium-Point-24-Count/dp/B00H2H3C2W/</p> <p>I specifically used some I bought on Ebay (search for "spring spare ball pen part 424"). They would be the type used for a retractable ball point pen.</p> <p><strong>Be sure to use eye protection when installing the spring.</strong></p> <p>When assembling, note that the holes in the "pawls" should face up (not pictured since I made the holes as a reference for assembly later). The cover will snap on, but it needs to be secured with glue for the final assembly (I use Gorilla Superglue Gel for PLA and works great). It would be best to test fit everything first though, and make sure it all moves smoothly. I had no problems with the test model I printed, all the parts moved well. A penny is used to depress the "button" which will then bring in the pawls which will release the retainer, so the bottle can be removed.</p> <p>Parts are not oriented for printing (see the pic for the recommended parts orientation). STEP file is included for easy remixing.</p> <p>If you make one, please post a make, and if you have feedback, please post a comment.</p> <p>Updates:<br/> 4-11-2020: Minor update to the Hidden Screw mount - wall mounting screw holes were enlarged. Updated the STEP to version 11A.<br/> 4-11-2020: Updated the holes for the M3 nuts to better enclose them (helps to keep them from rotating). Updated the STEP to version 12B.<br/> 4-26-2020: Printed and tested. It works, but decided to make one modification to the wall mount part, which will give it more room for adjustment. That new part is uploaded now, along with an updated STEP file. I plan to print this as well, but since the change is minor I am sure it will work fine.<br/> 4-27-2020: Final version tested and works, removing the work in progress flag.</p> Category: Household
