Digital BW, The Print

I am lucky enough to have access to a laser engraving machine, so I cut some
custom acrylic pieces to fit over the tubing on the support arm, replacing
the rubber test-tube stopper supports (which I tossed). Now the weight of
the lid keeps the support arm in its place.

You might even try repositioning the stopper on top of the tubing - you
don't want the head to get jammmed, ever!
