Self-righting Gimballed drinks holder

thingiverse

2018 Version now available - smaller, lighter and with higher capacity, just in time for Summer! See https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/self-righting-gimballed-drinks-holder-83052b7d-c7b3-4c15-b3b9-192e76f602e9 This is a simple yet effective drinks holder utilizing gimbals. It will fit a standard 330ml can or anything of the same diameter. It will print in place without supports needed. I designed it to fit my tablet holder (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077HM6LCR/) but I plan to use the same fitting to create other mounts. A sparse infill also provides good insulation, keeping drinks at a comfortable temperature. Update: I've now uploaded the grouped model which makes things much easier to align and assemble. Update 2: I have created two alternative mounts. One is a clip-on one that fits a garden chair (obviously you'd need precisely the same ones I have). The second is a clamp on one which screws to the arm of a chair. Both have printed successfully, with users preferring ABS for extra strength and durability. Update 3 (20/08/18): I've uploaded another version with a slightly larger diameter centre to make it fit a 330ml can more easily. The original was okay but a little tight. The newer one is 2mm wider. Update 4 (28/08/18): I have created a mount which will interface with a GoPro mount, giving many options for clamps and other accessories. Note - this version requires support between the two mounting plates.
