Gimballed can holder for sailboat winches

I over-designed a can holder that fits into sailboat winches and has a print-in-place mechanism to lock in place. Works pretty slick and was cool to learn how to get the lock right.

Over designed for sure, but think of the over engineering needed to support both axes? You could have a Titanic class beer holder.

that might be in the next version! I think the arms would need to be quite a lot wider though, in order to get any meaningful swing in the other axis

But isn't that what sailboat wenches are for?

!yes, yes, I know that's horrible in multiple ways, but I can rarely resist word play!<
