Beer Pop Soda Can Holder and Passive Gimbal with optional pipe holder

I saw a few designs out there already for this, but they were all too weak or had bad stress points. This is built to be easily zip-tied to a steel angle bar which you can then mount to whatever you are affixing this to.

One optional design has a tobacco pipe holder as well (although is not balanced as well as a consequence) in case you like to LIVE DANGEROUSLY around combustible fuels.

(NOT RECOMMENDED)

You will need:

• a single M5 bolt and nut to attach the zip tie coupler to the roll arm
• 3x 608ZZ (8x22x7mm) Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Try out the 'bearing test' first to check your print tolerances, the bearings should be a somewhat-firm push-fit.

The centre of gravity is better for 355ml cans, but it will work with tallboys too.

Pay attention to the axes of motion when mounting to your lawn tractor etc. I suggest the roll joint should be perpendicular to the primary direction of motion since it is a better-balanced joint.

You shouldn't need too many supports, just for the bearing protrusions on the zip tie coupler and roll arm, and maybe in the bearing holes on the cup if you like.

Oh, and flip the roll arm around X or Y 180 degrees before printing so the flat side is down!
