Parametric Club Holder v2 by M_G

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

This OpenSCAD script prints a A 2-part, hinged, bolt-on holder/fixture for affixing a small packaged sensing device (in this case a custom WIMU) to a round shaft or bar allowing it to be easily attached to golf clubs, tennis racquets, pipes, cylindrical bar stock, walking sticks etc.
Version:
2.3.2
Date:
2012-03-02
To Do:
Nothing
Note:
you will need the mouse_ears_test.scad file in the same folder asthis file for the mouse ears to compile properly
you will need the pivot_1_0.scad file in the same folder as this file for the hinge and bolt hole to compile properly
you will need the rounded_cuboid_2_5.scad file in the same folder as this file for the object to compile properly
Changes from previous versions:
v2.3.4
change shaft diameter to 30mm
v2.3.4
fix small elevation error for cap
added some tolerance to make inserting insert possible!
v2.3.3
added nubs to help locate cap onto top
added extra insert piece to allow device to be inserted from bottom
v2.3.2
added cap
v2.3.1
reduced tolerances for better fit (from 0.45 to 0.35)
v2.3
removed deprecated variables
new variable "arm_length" determines how much extra space there is for the hinge and bolt hole
new variable "cutout_support_thickness" allows you to specify width of walls left in areas where support are needed such as under the arch for the shaft and the cutouts on the side of the holder
v2.2

Switched to newer rounded cuboid module (v2.5) which makes positioning easier!
add cutouts for connections to held object
v2.1
added pivot_1_0.scad module for hinge
Can now generate bottom half
Added control variables to control whether top, bottom or both are generated and whether or not they are stacked or have mouse ears
Added captive nut on top half
More parametric!
Rotated held object 90 degrees so I can make holes for uUSB port which would have been blocked by bolt and hinge otherwise
v2.0
Completely remade parametric version in openscad based on alex's strap holder
v1.1
changed some sizes to make it easier to use without rework
v1.0
Original non-parametric autocad version
