Hydrometer Stand

Description
I got tired of using the vial I purchased my my local home brew shop. It used far too much beer to get the hydrometer to float. Once I tried using the tube that the hydrometer came in. Unfortunately it tipped over and broke the hydrometer. Here is my solution.

This is an excellent idea!
Is this designed to replace the cap at the end or will the cap fit in the stand?
My tube measures 26.3 and the cap lip diameter is 29mm. I'm happy to scale this as needed.

This one is pretty simple, 0 shells, 10% infill.
The hydrometer is a Triple Scale Beer and Wine hydrometer purchased from Brew and Grow. There's no brand name listed. The tube has a 27 mm diameter.

I did not design this with a cap in mind. The current Hydrometer I have is only capped on one end. I know the style you are talking about. I had one once and dropped in my hydrometer and it popped the cap out and hit the floor. Hydrometers and me don't get along.
I can't find my original Inventor CAD file unfortunately. I'm pretty sure mine measured about 27mm on the OD of the tube.
