Hanger post: holds a spool hanger round a horizontal 2 in tube
How do I support a horizontal tri-clamp spool off the bench? · Hardware · basis: Hole spacing = the 2 in spool hanger's bar holes (±39.4); bar face 39.4 from the tube axis

Exact dimensions. Every file is drawn at true size with no printing tolerance. The holes and pins that meet another part are listed below under Mating features, with the fit each joint needs; open those by your printer's or process's clearance before making the part. Mating features

Notes
- An upright plate with a foot: the spool hanger's bar bolts to its face with two M5 × 16 into tapped holes 78.8 apart, the hanger turned so its ring stands vertical round a horizontal tube with its axis 235.3 above the bench.
- On the twin-piston engine one post sits under each bounce spool.

Mating features
Drawn at the exact size. Open press, slide, run and socket features by your process's clearance; leave designed gaps and clamp fits as drawn.

Questions
Can it hold a vertical tube?
Use the 2020 stand for that; the post is for horizontal spools.
