No Printer? Order One
Printing it yourself is the goal — this page is the fallback
OpenPoleMount is an open-source hardware project, not a business. The intended path is that you (or a maker friend) print a cradle yourself for free — see the v3 Print Guide (form-fitted pocket) or the v2 Print Guide (universal holder). This page exists so people without access to a printer aren't left out.
If you don't have a 3D printer and can't find a maker nearby, you can have the IV Pole Cradle v3 printed on demand and shipped to you.
How it's printed
Orders are fulfilled through Teleport, the print-on-demand service from Slant 3D. They print the exact same open-source files published on this site — there's no special or "official" version. Parts are printed on Slant 3D's standard Teleport profile below, which meets the recommended minimums documented here.
This is a reference design, not a medical device
The printed parts you receive are the same open-source design published on this site. You are responsible for verifying mechanical integrity before use. Read the full safety disclaimer →
PETG has not been strength-tested by this project yet
The v3 order is printed in PETG. The project's load and over-tightening tests so far were done on PLA prints (see Testing). Inspect your parts, hand-tighten only, and verify the mount holds before relying on it.
