This little clip can be used when testing or comparing metal detectors. One is enough to hold the detector for gentle handling. I don't recommend using it for normal detecting, rough handling will dislodge it.
It will fit Minelab SD, GP, and GPX series detectors, not the GPX6000.
Slip it onto the rails on the top of the metal detector box, then just clip it onto the metal detector shaft. You still need to swap the cables, but it saves undoing the nuts and bolts on the armrest clamp. It is supposed to be a tight fit.
I printed it in PETG, but ASA or ABS might be better.
Five walls, five top and bottom surfaces, 45% infill. It needs about 10 grams of filament and takes about 15 minutes on a BBL A1.
No support needed if printed on its side.
You can easily get four on a build plate if you print in "by object" mode, and lots if you use "by layer".
Thanks to Fern for the pipe clip design.
Thanks to Woody from https://www.youtube.com/@DetectorMods for the idea.
