Heavy Duty (West Marine / Bravo) Foot Pump Clip w/ tether

thingiverse

A simple design request from a yacht captain calls for a tethered clip that will hold multiple RIB and tender pumps securely in place on the deck. The challenge is to create a durable solution that will withstand harsh marine conditions. The original design was tailored for the Bravo Foot pump, but it's essential to verify whether it will work equally well with other full-sized pumps. After running some simulations with Lightwave 6.5, the team has managed to come up with a quick and efficient design. Prints have been done using Stock Da Vinci 1.0a and Monoprice ABS. The final product has proven its mettle under rigorous testing. The crew is optimistic about the lifespan of the part, but they're closely monitoring its performance in sunlight and saltwater exposure to ensure it can handle extreme weather conditions. In a remarkable twist, the name of the boat itself has become synonymous with living life on the edge – Carpe Diem! Here's how you can print your own tethered clip: Instructions: 1. Run Quick design with Lightwave 6.5. 2. Use Stock Da Vinci 1.0a for printing. 3. Select Monoprice ABS material. 4. Add a tether hole and finish the design in Grey. You can find the details on the Monoprice website. For maximum strength, print the tethered clip with: * 90% Fill * Thick Shell * .3 Layer thickness
