Push-Push Mechanism Rod Tube Holder

A rod tube holder with push-push mechanism for locking and releasing the tube from the mount.

Push to lock in place, push to release.

Wall mount is screwed to the wall with hidden screws behind a customizable plaquer.
The holder itself is friction fit into the wall mount. Its a "tight" fit, which may or may not suit all people. If too tight, slightly scale the wall mount and plaquer by a small amount. I might revisit the design of how to secure it in place in the future...

This model prints perfectly on my machine, which is a X1C with flow dynamics calibration. If parts don't fit, I suggest try to calibrate the filament for dimensional accuracy.

The plaquer can be changed to your liking or left blank. I have included Scott, Hardy and G.Loomis pre-made plaquers.
There are two versions (Ø50mm tube and Ø58mm tube) designed to fit my go-to rod tubes. The wall mounts are not interchangeable between these two, as I wanted to keep the overall size to a minimum.

Hardware needed:
1.4mm dowels/or panel pins cut to length. A length gauge is included on the build plate.
Make sure that the pins are not too long, and that the ends are cleanly cut with no sharp irregularities.

I used a small file to round the edges of the cut.

I assemble these completely without any glue.

If the slider is sticking to the base, sand the glide beams lightly and it will improve a lot!
Also, make sure all parts connected by pins can rotate freely with minimal/no resistance.

Assembly:
Currently this is only for the brave.. Study the rendered images, it should make sense.
Some postprocessing may be needed in the recess on the slider where the center locking pin is attached, to make it rotate freely.
Make sure none of the sliding pins are too long and don't bite in the plastic.
