This TPU pipe clamp is intended to allow you to add functionality to cylindrical objects. E.g. add hooks or storage trays that you can rotate and hide under a small table. Add small soap trays to your shower arm, or design your own accessory to customize it to your needs. 

The clamps support pipes between 10-24mm, but more sizes can be added on demand. 

Currently included accessories:
- Shoe horn loop
- Box tray with drain holes
- Wide box tray with drain holes
- Cylindrical tray with drain holes
- Small hooks
- Wide hooks
(- Top cap)
(Horizontally mounted versions of these can be added if requested.)

Printing

The clamp itself should be printed in TPU to allow it to stretch around the pipe, and provide some friction against sliding. I have set the print speed to LOW, as it tends to give me fault-free results on my printer and speed is not my main concern. Note that you might want to adjust this to a speed that works well for your setup. 

Print the top cap in a material that allows slight bending without snapping. PETG works well for me and is recommended. 

Print the accessories in any material you see fit. The majority of mine were printed in PETG. 

Mounting

Even though the TPU clamp has some friction around the pipe, it's best paired with a zip tie to secure it in place, allowing weight to be added to the attached accessory. There are two options to do so:

Option one: Route it through the internal channel within the clamp, so that it hugs the inside of the clamp onto the pipe. This provides a more hidden solution when tied down. See image below:

Option two: Route it through the side channels on its backside as shown in the image below. This is more visible, but easier to remove the zip tie without risking damage to the pipe.

Attach any accessory into the adapter slot, and use the top-clamp to secure it in place if needed.

Wanna create your own accessories?

Great! I've included the base fitting for slotting into the clamp (named  adapter_fitting in the slicer project), so all you have to do is extend the geometry on its top face for a perfect fit. Please share all your creations with me!
