6 mm irrigation hose slide clamp

thingiverse

I have some horizontal spray 'risers' to irrigate a narrow strip of garden on my fence line. Variable heat from the sun has given rise to expansion and contraction of the main feeder hose lifting it from the fence railing and allowing the horizontal sprays to assume all sorts of angles. My fix was to constrain the horizontal sprays whilst allowing them some movement along the fence line. This 'clamp' does the trick. Printed at .3mm layers is fine. I printed with the parts on edge so there is no bridging and maximum bed adhesion is achieved without the need for any brim. STOP PRESS! I have just found that not all hose risers are created equal. I have some that are nearer 8 mm diameter. So I have re-scaled for a second version to accommodate these larger tubes.
