IV Pole Cradle v2 — Universal Device Holder

A general-purpose pocket for a home IV pole. Its more open shape isn't fitted to one specific device, so it may hold several different small devices — not just one model.

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


Need a tighter, more form-fitting pocket? Print v3 instead

v3 is the recommended, more form-fitting cradle — it's a smaller redesign built from feedback on this v2 pocket.

v2 is still a good print — it's now documented here as a universal device holder: its more open pocket may fit several small devices of similar size, but we do not yet have a compatibility list. If you print v2 and it holds your device well (or doesn't), please open an issue and tell us — fit reports from the community are how this list gets built.

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

These photos show v2 holding a Curlin CMS6000 — the pairing it was originally photographed with, before v3's more form-fitting pocket was designed. They illustrate the pocket's general size and shape; they are not a claim that v2 is the recommended holder for this or any specific device.
