55MM Tube Mount + Version 2

This is a modified tube mount for pista01's mounting bracket. The original system was ment for a 50mm diameter. I've upgraded my tube to a 60w, 55mm diameter.

To make it a little easier for me to use, I've removed the second half of the mount and altered the screw holes in the hanger half to allow for use of either a 1/2 wide hook and loop velcro strip, or zip ties.

After testing it out a bit, I found that it's still hard to get my fat fingers behind the tube to do any tightening. So I altered the mount to wrap around the back and have the ability to be velcroed or zip tied from the front between the two mounting blocks.

Depending on the medium you print with, you can either stretch it open a bit to get it around the tube, or slip it on from the ends.

NOTE: This is still a work in progress. I need to correct the screw holes for mounting after some testing.
