28mm or 1-1/8 inch InMoov stand for a chair base by Hodgepodgerama

I'm in the US and although there are already a handful of Inmoov stands out there, I wanted one that would fit into a 5-wheel chair base. Go to Goodwill or ask your building manager at work for a chair base or a chair with a broken lift. Pull the clip from the bottom of the chair-lift tube and the inside of the hydraulic cylinder will slide out leaving a wonderful and strong base that is about 1-1/8 inch or 28 mm wide and 8 inches tall. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy a 1-1/8 inch (28mm) by 4 foot dowel. This is thicker and stiffer than a broom handle. Note: this holder does not taper. It fits snugly, so you might need to sand the dowel a little. There is a small hole you can drill out to put a screw through the holder into the dowel if you need to. And when you get your InMoov InMooving, you can throw a couple of those 15 lb hand weights that you haven't used in years onto the base...or if you are a scuba diver, grab your weight belt like I did. I tried to come up with a more universal solution that could be attached in multiple locations and would remove easily, but this will do for now. This stand is closely based on the "Stand-link for InMoov" by d-oo-b so thank you for that cone idea. I used 2 shells and 30% infill. I printed it in PLA and am not sure if it will shrink at all if you use ABS. C'mon, get your awesome bot off the table!
