Parametric Gas Bottle Clamp / Support

thingiverse

Hi, On extended bike rides I often carry a compact stove to brew coffee and occasionally prepare warm meals. Unfortunately, small burners from Ebay/Aliexpress struggle to accommodate anything larger than a teacup. I decided to design my own support system and removed the existing supports from the burner. The objectives were: - Extremely lightweight - Compact/Portable - Stable - Easy to use/setup - Adjustable - Parametric design After exploring various ideas, I opted for simplicity. I started with a basic clamp I had downloaded years ago and adapted it to suit my needs. This time around, the design was tailored for a Campingaz CG1750 bottle, but any bottle should be easy to adjust. In an earlier version, I ran the rods to the bottom of the base, but that required a larger clamp and more storage space. You'll need to fabricate aluminum supports using 4mm rods. The length and bend angle depend on your specific needs, but the tip must be flattened to fit snugly into the clamp. Hammering the rods is straightforward; use a vice with a small anvil or a flat piece of 2mm steel as an alternative. Gently hammer the aluminum until it reaches an even thickness/width, then trim excess material and bend to the desired angle. Please share any issues you encounter with this design or suggestions in the comments below. Cheers, Jochum
