Hey everyone, here's another in my series of pool/billiards accessories. This one is a more basic, standard type of Cue Claw that you will commonly see in pool halls, tournaments and other pool and billiards events. This one has no moving parts, it doesn't fold up like the others, there's no magnets to install and it's about the same dimensions as a name-brand Q-Claw.

Serious pool players take great care of their equipment and there is no piece of equipment more vital than your cue stick. Keep your cue's handy and ready for play with this cue claw. 

The bottom has an open area (that's what the separate lid is for) that you can fill with weight of some kind. I use BB's (like for a BB gun) to fill the cavity then pour some clear cast epoxy in to hold it all in place. Make sure the cavity is completely filled with the epoxy (give it a minute to settle between the BBs and if it's not full add a bit more until it is) so the BBs don't rattle around. Place the lid into the groove before the epoxy begins to dry and it will glue it into place as it cures.

To make this model perfect and really protect your cues and the surfaces you set it on I use 1mm thick stick-on foam padding on the bottom. The arms still fold perfectly as long as the padding is only 1mm thick. I use the ones in the link below and cut them to fit. I also cut small (25x40mm) pieces to place inside the cue holder grooves.

There are THREE plates included. 

• The first is the main claw and is completely print in place and includes the weight compartment lid on the same plate for easy, one-shot printing. 
• Second plate is with an added design (by request of user_3196687540)
• Third plate is the same design with some added elements (trees and a doe) again by request of user_3196687540. Enjoy Jeremy!

Printing details:

Layer height: .2mm

Infill: 15% Gyroid

Support: I have included supports in the model where needed. Basically the arches, and the back wall of each compartment need support (since it's printed upright). Some printers, like the A1, can bridge these gaps but I feel it looks slightly better by including the support. YMMV so use them or don't as you see fit.
