About this 3D model

This is a holder to attach two fiber optic cable to a 8mm smooth rod and allow easy switching between cables for optical experiments. This component is part of the [Open-source optics project](http://www.appropedia.org/Open_source_optics), whose goal is to radically reduce the cost of scientific optical hardware: by the [Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group](http://www.appropedia.org/Category:MOST).
