Holder Clip for Ambutech PGS Mobility Cane

The Cane Holder Clip is a lightweight assistive aid that can be hung from a bag so that a cane can be easily held in place with the users bag whenever it is not needed. This version was specifically designed for the Ambutech PGS Mobility Cane.

The Cane Holder Clip works by pressing the cane shaft through the opening, which causes the material to flex open and then back again to retain the cane. To remove the cane, simple pull on the cane while pressing the wing tabs to “pop” it out again. The clip was designed to be hung from a backpack using a simple caribiner clip. We found caribiners with a flat closure were much more tactile and easy to use. 

This device is intended for users with canes.

The only skill involved in this project is beginner level 3D printing

The material used for the original design was PETg. Print orientation should be vertical (see video) so that the layer boundaries are not being directly stressed when the clip flexes during cane installation and removal. The Cane Holder Clip should be printed with 4 perimeters / shells to maximize strength and minimize print time.
