WARNING: Hold the center piece while fitting the top on. I was forcing the top on the third one I've printed and the center piece broke. I was holding the base when it happened. I may add some tolerance to the connection to make it easier.
I will start with my motivation for this design. I seen other racks that were good but the print time turned me off. This one takes about 8 hours total to print on my Kobra S1.
There are 2 models for the top because I wanted to give you the option of which you like best. The one with full rings works well but if you do dumb things like refill tanks you may encounter some tanks that have swollen and don't fit. I had to do a redesign and increase the diameter for those. I still did another redesign with the split rings because I had one tank that was giving me fits. Good thing is that the top is a quick 1 hour print. I believe the full rings is an easier print. But ultimately I like the split ring design.
The mating pieces are not real tight. They are a bit loose but the tanks offer some structural support in that they keep the two pieces in the correct orientation. Just align the parts and push them together and twist.
The hole is there to put some rope through for a handle.
That is about it. I hope you have a great time in your adventures.
