Game Board Wall Hanger

pinshape

I wanted to hang a game board on the wall without damaging it. I typically use 3M Command damage-free hanging strips for this type of thing, but I don't like the idea of having something stuck to the back of the game board when I take it off the wall to play the game. So I created this simple hanger that will hold the board to the wall. You simply stick the Command Strip to the back of a few hangers, stick them to the wall and slide the game board onto the hanger. You can pull the game board down off the wall at any time, there will be nothing stuck to it, and you can rehang the board after you're done without needing to use a new Command Strip. The hanger is sized for a 12lb strip (52mm x 19mm) and can hold a board that's up to about 7mm thick. I print these on their side, which gives a 90-degree overhang on one of the back edges. This overhang is very thin (0.5mm) and doesn't print well without a bit of support. I set my support to 10% for this. Sometimes these edges are still a bit sloppy and can be fixed with CA or slurry, but it doesn't really matter since this part of the print will be against the wall and behind your game board.
