Circular Fastener (Hose Clamp)

thingiverse

# Info Circular fastening, cylindrical gripper, variable diameter connector, [jubilee clip](https://www.jubileeclips.co.uk/products/original/), hose clamp or adjustable radial constriction device that will grip firmly around a cylinder, a rod or pole - typically used to secure a hose to an outlet. Could be incorporated into other models. # Sizing The size in the filename of each mesh represents the interior radius of the hoop, when the fastener is printed and slightly open. This will fasten down to ~1mm less than the initial state at max. Leave a comment or send a message if you'd like me to export some other size. I got about a third of the way to doing this in OpenSCAD before [giving up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles#Tangent_lines_to_two_circles), so it's not user parametrizable as of now.
