Customizable Mesh Panel Wall Mount with Stapler

thingiverse

In Japan, apartment walls are "inviolable" and no nail hole is acceptable. This model uses mini stapler needles (#10) to fix objects on the drywall/plasterboard. The original idea comes from Kabebijin products. (http://www.kabebijin.jp/) To customize, modify "Wire Diameter" (2.0mm - 5.0mm) and "Clearance" (0.1mm - 0.4mm) parameters. "Clearance" corresponds to 3D printer accuracy. The default value (0.1mm) is suitable for UP/AFINIA series. And use the "Testprint" parameter for a fitting test. (Output center portion only) I recommend using stainless #10 needles, but they can be difficult to buy at a low price in countries other than Japan. This product is designed to attach mesh panels/wire nets to common apartment or condo walls (drywall/plasterboard). It fixes objects to the wall using mini stapler needles like the Wall Beautiful product. The holes are very small, making it suitable for rental properties. A sample STL file for a 3.8mm diameter wire is provided, but you can customize it in the Customizer from 2.0-5.0mm diameter. The parameters are as follows: * Wire Diameter: The diameter of the wire. Most mesh panels available at general stores have diameters between 3.8mm and 4.0mm. * Clearance: Adjust this parameter to match your 3D printer's accuracy (default is 0.1mm). If the wire gets stuck during testing, increase this value to 0.2-0.4mm. * Panel Offset: Set how far the wire net will be offset from the wall. The default setting of 6mm should be sufficient. * Testprint: Use this parameter for a test print. Select "For Test Print" to output only the center portion with the wire inserted. * Quantity: Output quantity (1-6 pieces). If you want to try it, ordinary mini stapler needles will work fine, but I recommend using stainless #10 needles (available on Amazon) for long-term use (rust-resistant). Search for "Wall Beautiful special needle" on Amazon, and one box of 1000 needles costs around $9 with shipping. When installing, you'll need a staple gun that can open up to 180 degrees. Many staple guns available at general stores cannot open wide enough. I recommend using PLA filament for printing. ABS filament will cause the wire to warp and make it difficult to output.
