Gas and Spring Strut Brace

10/26/2024 Note: Needed a shorter version also, so made one approximately 56mm long and posted file.

Son wanted something so his Leer camper rear window wouldn’t bounce, while open, driving to beach with his dogs. This brace prevents a gas or spring strut in an open position from compressing, using hose clamps. It is sized for struts with a 6mm diameter arm. By loosening clamps, it can be slid to end of strut arm so strut can be compressed. Printed vertically in TPU, from inside to out and with a brim, was able to get by without supports and minimal clean up. Black line on clamps in last pic is where I cut and filed hose clamps after adjusting them to loose position.
