When you make expanding foam background, it is sometimes problematic to install drip tubes - they tend to slide and don't want to stay in place, hindering the curing of silicone. I needed the tube to stay where I wanted it. I have seen no clamps that would do the job, so I designed some. Just put it around the tube, squeeze pointy ends together and stick into the foam.

Warning, this is not a permanent mounting method. It is meant only to hold it in place before silicone or other binding agent dries.

Design is for 13mm diameter tube, 10mm opening and 1.5mm wall thickness. You can easily adapt it by using ruler tool and scale to size for inner diameter, as shown below.
