Guitar Holder Locking

My aim was to create a, wall mounted, guitar holder with locking arms as I have a Hercules unit that works great but they are expensive.

So with a nod to the excellence of the Hercules product I'm calling mine a Hercules-esque wall mounted locking guitar holder.

I ended up using a simple ‘hair elastic’ as the spring return mechanism.

I have uploaded the .3mf file as this was created in Orca slicer with primitive parts which enables you to save as .stl & KEEP the negative parts saved within that .stl, but only while you have ONLY primitive parts. Some of my parts I created in Paint 3D then saved them as .3mf files opened them and saved them as individual  .stl files once these .stls are assembled  with the Orca primative parts you can no longer keep any further negative parts added when you save as a new ‘combined’ .stl but the .3mf format allows the negative parts. The downside is that all your ‘assembled’ parts can be split to individual parts where if they were one .stl file NOT SO.

Here is a link to a video of the project from start to finish.

I also have a video of the 3D clean up and assembly:
