nutricia flocare infinity

thingiverse

Human: The Nutricia flocare infinity enteral feeding pump can be operated with containers and also with wide-neck bottles. Unfortunately, there is no good way to hang the wide-neck bottles in the standard rack of the pump without kinking the tube. I have created this holder compatible with glass and plastic bottles (diameter about 55mm). The missing handle on the pump can be screwed onto the holder using an M4 screw. Since these devices are often loan equipment, the holder clicks into the existing holes of the pump's rack, no drilling is necessary. For safety, there is still an M3 screw on the rear wall, which prevents falling (an existing hole is also used). Currently, the first prototype has been created and is being tested by the care team - maybe the design will be changed over time. I printed the holder with PLA - a hardness test, impact test, and splinter test had no trouble passing it through. A PETG mass printing broke down during the first tests, but the 0.5mm nozzle, 1.5mm outer wall, and 25% grid filling with PLA printing seemed to have the best balance of flexibility and stability.
