IV Pole Cradle v2

The current OpenPoleMount design — the recommended cradle for holding the Curlin CMS6000 on a home IV pole.

IV Pole Cradle v2 — Blender model, pump pocket at left, U-shaped pole channel at right IV Pole Cradle v2 in Blender — U-shaped pole channel and thumbscrew boss at right, pump pocket at left, embossed "I.V. Pole v2" / "OpenPoleMount" labels.

This is the design to print

v2 is the recommended cradle. The pump seats fully and securely in the pocket with the keypad and screen accessible, and the printed T-handle thumbscrew clamps it to a standard home IV pole. It uses the thumbscrew_v14_flat_Thandle.stl thumbscrew and the OpenPoleMount block standard.

The original v1 is not functional as a pump cradle — the pump buttons and screen are not accessible when the pump is seated in it. v1 is best repurposed as an accessory box that mounts on the pole below the pump.
