Ironing Board Hanger

thingiverse

Get that ironing board off the floor - perhaps on the back of a closet door as I did with this setup. I took a look at various brackets others have available, but thought I would prefer something a little different. Some others rely more heavily on cantilevered arms which seem to ask a bit more of PLA than it might be able to handle. Mine strengthens the support arm and gets more material under them too. It should securely hold a T-shaped ironing board leg for a sturdy mounting on a wall or the back of a door. Just for fun, I've shared the clay model I roughed up as a starting point. If you create your own 3D parts, consider getting a chunk of simple Plasticine or other modeling clay, and you'll find it speeds your path to a first viable model by letting you find a good shape, and rough-in the initial dimensions. I printed my ironing-board hanger at only 25% fill, thinking I'd just use that first try as a fit-test. It was surprisingly strong already though, so I've used it. I suspect it may break after a few months, so you're probably best off printing yours at 40% or more. I also improved a few thicknesses and chamfers after that first test print (and my photo above), so if you print this shared model you'll already be one step ahead of me. I'll make a v2 myself once the first one fails. The screw holes are also a bit better in the STL I've got here for you, with thicker material and a better countersink. Realizing this would probably be a decent shovel-holder for the garage or gardening shed too. I'll have to try it out this summer. Enjoy. Would love to see your creations.
