Description

Fuel Canister Stabilizer V2 (Experimental) 

 

An ultralight, packable stabilizer that gives your fuel canister a solid base for backcountry cooking. It's designed to push the "feet into the base of the canister, and then throw the whole thing in your titanium pot.

 

What's new in V2:

  • Three feet instead of four — lighter and more stable on uneven ground (three points always sit flat, no rocking)
  • Sturdier (longer) leg design for better support under a full pot
  • Folds down compact and nests inside your cook pot alongside your canister
  • You can put a small sized BIC lighter under the canister with the stabilizer installed on the pot, so the lighter stays secure. 

How it works:
Pop the stabilizer open, set it on the ground. That's it… a wider, more stable footprint for your stove setup, which matters a lot on uneven ground.

 

Why you want one:
A tippy canister with a pot of boiling water on top is a recipe for a lost dinner or worse. This adds stability for almost no weight or pack space since it stows inside the pot you're already carrying.

 

Printing notes:

  • No supports needed
  • PLA works. PETG or ABS for increased heat resistance and durability.
  • Print at 100% scale for standard fuel canisters.

ASSEMBLY: You'll need to use pressure to “pop” the feet on. 

 

Feedback wanted! This is an evolving design — V3 is already in the works. If you print one, let me know what you'd improve in the comments.
