Closet Rod Bracket

thingiverse

This is a bracket for a standard closet rod that fits snugly into a 1.3" (33mm) space, designed specifically for installation in an attic apartment with a steep ceiling/wall using three strong Command Strips. The strips hold about 15lb (6.8kg), although the bracket could support more weight if attached securely. Two brackets and a 1.5ft closet rod are currently holding several heavy jackets without any issues. Closet rods in the US are typically 1 and 5/16 inch (33.3mm) in diameter, so a small amount of sanding is needed to taper the ends for a stable fit. This keeps the rod from slipping out of one side or the other. For additional support brackets, slightly sand the inside hole for a snug fit. The Command Strips are the limiting factor in this design. The bracket was over-engineered because it was my first project using FreeCAD to learn parametric CAD skills.
