Non-Slip Bed Sheet Holder/Picnic Table Cloth Holder

thingiverse

Updates: 03-24-22 - While these printed fine under Cura the strap was not manifold. I removed the latest update as 1.) It required some extensive stitching to make it manifold. 2) I added some extra strength around the hole. There was a weak stress point where the lower part met the rising part. If bend up and down the two would separate. While it posed no problems in usage I just don't like to leave things with failure points if possible. This is a much improved bed sheet holder. If you have an ultra-plush mattress than you know why you need this as keeping the sheets on the mattress can be a pain. The first version's design was simply a knock off of what you buy in the department stores. You will probably want to pick a better color to print these in than I did. This new version (shown along side the older version) was designed so that once you push the sheet threw the hole with the peg it won't come undone. Simply insert the holding pin. This makes it much easier to use than the earlier version. You can use a flexible filament to connect the straps but string is a better choice. If you use a flexible filament you can join them with the clamp provided (1.75mm that is) but you'll also have to glue them as the clamp along won't hold. I used E6000 for this as it is cheap and it works great on TPU. How to use: 1. Place the strap behind the bed sheet where it won't be seen. Push the peg and sheet from the front, into the strap and slide back. 2. Flip the sheet around so that you can see what you are doing. 3. Place the pin in the hole but not too far so as not to catch the cloth. 4. Now the tricky part. Take your time, it does work. Take your thumb and push the peg back and the sheet down through the hole. What you are attempting to do is pull the sheet as close as possible to the peg. Turn the strap 90 degrees upward so that the cloth is pulled towards the peg if you need to. Continue inserting the pin so that it passes the coth. The sheet should only be between the pin and the peg. The insertion tool is not needed any longer but provided. Also, the clamp is only used if you are trying to join filament together.
