OpenPoleMount — IV Pole Cradle v3
Description
OpenPoleMount IV Pole Cradle v3 is an open-source, fully 3D-printable equipment cradle for standard IV poles — the current, recommended cradle in the OpenPoleMount line. It is a smaller, more form-fitting redesign built from user feedback on v2, with a pocket sized to hold a compact device (about 125 x 100 x 66 mm printed) while keeping the device's front face accessible. It clamps to the pole with the printed T-handle thumbscrew on the shared OpenPoleMount mounting block, gripping firmly without the pole damage that metal hardware can cause. It prints in PLA, or PETG for a stronger, lighter part.
The cradle is general-purpose mounting hardware; it is not a medical device and is not intended to deliver, control, or support medication or therapy.

Intended use case
A form-fitting cradle to hold a compact device on a standard IV pole, with the device's controls kept accessible. It is built on the OpenPoleMount mounting block and can be resized to fit other devices or pole diameters. It suits any compact object within its size and weight envelope (up to about 1.4 kg / 3 lb), medical or otherwise. It is general-purpose mounting hardware, not a medical device, and is not intended to deliver, control, or support medication or therapy.
