With summer around the corner (at least if you live in the northern hemisphere), it's always a challenge to go for a stroll with the kid in middle of the day.
This umbrella holder clips onto the handle of the stroller and includes an extension rod to lift the umbrella high enough to cover the entire stroller.
Even if you don't have a Sport Line stroller, the attachment clamp could easily be customized for your own stroller by using OpenSCAD - see instructions below.
How to print
I wanted to get this model out in time for the competition, so I didn't have a ton of time to stress test the design - please take my advice with a grain of salt until I've used it enough time. (hopefully by then I'd have already updated this part)
I printed mine in Elegoo Black PLA.
- 0.4mm nozzle
- 0.16mm layer height
- 215C nozzle temperature (for increased layer adhesion)
- 20% Gyroid infill
- Clamps: 3 walls
- Rod: 4 walls + 100% infill on the threaded part
How to assemble
You'll need M3 screws + nuts.
I used M3x8mm screws and they barely stick out.
I recommend not using a very long screws as they may scratch the kid.
Make sure to tight the screws enough so the clamp would not slide, but not too much so it won't break.
How to customize
I used BOSL2 library which includes many goodies that make modeling easier, so you'll need to have that installed before attempting to edit anything.
Other than that, the .scad file contains all the required parameters at the top.
Open it in OpenSCAD editor or in any text editor for that matter, and follow the instructions.
You can start by changing the model name and then insert the parameters that suit your need.
A word about durability
As stated before, I didn't have much time to test this model out in the field, so here are some caveats of things that I'm keeping an eye on for future improvements:
- PLA might not be the best material for the job - especially the rod. I might consider replacing it with PETG or a carbon-reinforced material.
- The rod printing orientation is sub-optimal; I tried to circumvent that with thicker walls and more infill but it might still fail. I'm already tossing some ideas on how to replace the circular rod with a rod that can be printed on the bed. However, it might limit the length a bit compared to a standing rod.
