Carpet Tack/Anchor

thingiverse

For those tricky rug-on-top-of-another-rug decorating dilemmas: This innovative anchor is designed to secure an area rug firmly on top of plush wall-to-wall carpet. The accordion-style feet press down into the plush carpet with precision, while the small pointy tacks stick up into the base of the area rug with ease. Approximately 10cm square in size, this versatile anchor features two outer corners that have been removed to enable seamless printing without supports. This thoughtful design ensures a smooth and hassle-free printing process. In our testing, we found this anchor works reasonably well in rug-on-rug situations, providing a secure and stable base for your area rug. However, when laid on the ground without any rug on top, it can be a painful object to step on in the middle of the night.
