I made a protector for my air tank valve.
The diameter of my tank (the place where you attach this guard) is 28.52mm, and the height of whole guard is 115mm (blue plastic color on images)
Also I made a version for 43mm tank with 125mm height (black plastic color on images), it fits a U.S. 5 lb. CO2 tank. Thank you, Kenneth !
Your tank may be different and this is why you may like to download the original design and modify it:

43mm version: https://a360.co/369fXv2
I printed mine from PLA with high (50%) infill ratio, and of course I can break it, but the main goal to prevent accidental valve rotation. So far (3 weeks of usage) it stays solid and works good.
It may not work with scuba tanks because usually they have a valve on left/right side.
To assemble the 28.53mm version you'll need:
To assemble the 43mm version you'll need:
Enjoy! And let me know if you do anything cool with it.
