I designed this rod holder to mount on the outside of my flip over ice shack for ice fishing.

The design works on a dove tail clip system in which the female clip is bolted to the surface you wish to mount the cup holder to using two M3 bolts. The male clip on the rod holder will easily slide and lock into the female clip, making this easy to install and remove for transport. Depending on how your printer does with over hangs, you may need some supports where the tube comes out of the clip.

The files are not oriented properly for printing but are just as I designed them. It should be fairly obvious of how to orient them on the build plate but if you are having trouble…

The female clip should stand vertically on the build plate

The rod holder should also stand up vertically on the build plate, just as it would sit when in use.

This system was designed to free up space in my flip over ice shack, since space is limited when transporting gear from spot to spot. The sliding dove tail clip allows for accesories to be stored in transport and to be easily installed when setting up. This keeps the body of the sled clear for packing larger items such as heaters, electronics and minnow buckets.

I have also designed a few other accessories to work with this system.

I have included the fusion files for the clip system if anyone would like to remix and add more accessories to this system.
