Description

PDF

When you are camping at night, it is really useful to be able to hang your lantern in your pop-up tent.  This bracket attaches to the post and stays secure with a simple wedge fit.  

The bracket arm extends diagonally into the tent so your lantern is protected from rain and the light is more toward the center.

Ideally, the arm would be longer, but I've limited to common printer bed sizes, but it should fit most lanterns that have a hook or loop on the top.  The wedge features a hole so that you can tie it to the bracket to keep together.
 

Printing

Only needs support for the dip for the lantern handle.  Everything else is designed to print without supports including the holes to attach the string.

Assembly

The bracket and corner wedge are designed to be connected with a short piece of paracord so you don't lose the wedge.  Cut and finish the ends of a 6-8" piece of cord.  Slide one end through each hole and tie a knot.

 

Attaching to post

  1. Slide arm around post and position at desired height.
  2. Slide wedge from below until secure.  You do not need to push as hard as possible as that will cause the bracket to flex and detach.  You do not need any tools, just finger pressure.
  3. Hook on your lantern (or whatever) and enjoy!
