{"product_id":"customizable-locking-hose-pipe-clamp","title":"Customizable Locking Hose \/ Pipe Clamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hose or pipe clamp that locks tightly in place using a custom “toggle latch” mechanism. Can be customized to have any diameter, but may not work as well above 1inch\/25mm diameter without some additional customizing. Works especially well for very small diameters that are hard to find standard metal hose clamps for. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe default model parameters provide an extra 1mm of circumference to the clamp so it can be slipped over your hose\/pipe. Locking it in place removes this extra spacing and tightens it down to the target diameter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent it from unlocking itself (due to movement, vibration, etc), cut two pieces of a paperclip and insert them through the two locking pin holes as shown here (but bend them so they can't come back out): \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"image image_resized\" style=\"width: 65.53%\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001139363\/design\/2025-02-22_fab1bd5677fd2.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe provided print profile includes diameters from 6-24mm in increments of 2mm, plus 25mm (~1inch). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustomizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPDATE JULY 2025: Makerworld now supports customizing this directly from the website! \u003c\/strong\u003eYou should still follow the instructions below related to supports and print orientation though. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo customize this you'll need to use Autodesk Fusion (\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/ca-en\/products\/fusion-360\/personal\"\u003efree for personal use\u003c\/a\u003e).
