This is a little helper to place PET preforms when creating a geocache.
It includes a version to be screwed down and one to be attached using zipties.
Each version also includes spacers to attach them to posts of 60.3mm or 76.1mm diameter (the most common ones in Germany).
Also, I added files named “Holder-*_PETLock” which will add more space between the base plate and the preform so that you can use the locks I posted here.

Printing instructions:
General
- I would recommend to print it in PETG or ABS for durability
- I chose 5 outer wall loops
Holders
- The holder itself should be printed on its side for stength (I also printed some flat on their base plate to reduce waste when using multi-color printing. These also seem to be fine)
- No supports should be needed here
- make sure your printer is properly calibrated and you have sufficient bed adhesion.
- If it shouldn't properly stick to the print bed, you might want to add a brim
Pole Attachments
- The pole attachments can be printed as they come
- add any kind of supports underneath (on the curved side)
