Gilson Pipette Holder / Hanger - x3/x4 - Non adhesive

thingiverse

This is a remix! Because I dislike glue. I've added two hooks that bind to the holder and hang from the shelf. The shelf has a 1.89 cm depth, so the hole in the hooks is 1.90 cm deep. Hooks make this thing movable :). Use the Tinkercad editor or whatever to tweak this to your lab furniture. The model is available at Tinkercad >> goo.gl/GiR7P5 <<. There's a 0.2 mm tolerance between the hooks and the holder, and it came out fine. There are two small bumps where the parts slide together, which should help keep things in place (note: those were removed in newer versions). Don't want your precious experiment to get ruined by those Gilson pipettes falling into it! I tested the original design and found that the pipettes were slightly prone to sliding off. To prevent this further, I made the hooks tilt the holder by 5°. After all, scientists are also just users. I've done decent testing and found that it would be slightly more comfortable if the pipettes were a little bit more separated from one another (horizontally). Not a dealbreaker, but I might try to fix it later on. v3 - First upload, works fine with the hooks v4 - Now the holder slides from the top; the model includes the hooks. v4 - This also results in the holder being a little bit higher, making it potentially less stable (because it hangs by leverage and not glue). v4.1 - Bugfix v4.3 - Increased the hook's distance so the holder hangs from below. I think this will give it better stability.
