Bed Sheet Holder/Table Cloth holder

cults3d

STOP! There is a MUCH improved version of this that I published on Cults3D just now. You'll truely want to use that over this one. I'll leave this one here just in case someone has another usage for it. Updated instructions for estimated filament/strap lengths. 3/21/22 Im hesitating to say print the strap in TPU. I printed it TPU and they worked but they were butter in PETG. I made these to hold my bed sheet covers to the mattress as they continously pop off. I realized that these can be used for table clothes when picnicing. I designed this in order to use the TPU filament instead of printing the strap as one long piece. This works just fine and it allows you to decide the length of the cord that goes under the mattress ( or table if using it for holding a picnic table cloth. The length of the cording and the number of holes that you want to use is up to you. I have an ultra plush pillow top with a topper as well. I used a 600mm length filament/strap so that it clearly went under the mattress ( not the length shown in the picture. I only used ONE HOLE with this length. Assuming that I used two holes I would require twice as much cut filament. You want to keep this somewhat tight but long enough to stay under the mattress. The Pegs I printed in TPU. : I suppose that these can be printed in PLA or PETG. The cable clamps are for 'helping' bind the TPU filament. I printed these in PLA as TPU would be worthless for this purpose. The clamps alone won't hold the filament from slipping through. I used superglue (not gel!) on one, and E6000 on the others. So far no issues after one week. From what I've read superglue won't last with TPU but I didn't have any other glue on hand and I won't mess with solvents such as DMSO as that is a very dangerous one to get on your skin. (I know from the '70s when it was all the rage.) If you do use the cable clamps they take a 3mm screw and nut.
