Cane Holder for headboard. Customizable

Occasionally I need a cane for my first few steps in the morning. I want to store my cane so I don't have to walk to get it. I'm reusing my pipe clips to release the cane when I want it, but hold it securely the rest of the time.

So I could print without support, each cane holder is in two parts, a shelf part and a cane clip part, with a printed in dovetail. Just press the shelf part to the clip part together after printing, and friction keeps them in place.

I have a double IKEA BRIMNES headboard. I attached each complete cane holder clip with a small wood screw so when I pull the cane away from the headboard the clip stays attached to the headboard.

In the customizer, you can set the thickness of your shelf, the diameter of your cane, and the height of the clips.

Print in PETG to get the right flexibility and resiliency of the clips.

To remove the cane: pull at right angles to the long axis of the bed

To replace the cane: push it against the cane clips.

The cane clip assembly is pretty short at 20mm, but it works well even at this size.
