Printable Clothes Line / General Object Hanger

thingiverse

In my home area, the windy weather has necessitated air-drying blankets. To save space and make setup/teardown easy, I designed a printable clothesline. The bodies/anchors are 3D printed while the line is 3mm filament. This versatile system can also be used to hang other objects like plants or decorations on columns. For Christmas, I plan to use it for hanging outdoor lights between columns over a wide span. Although using rope with knots could have been an alternative, this printable clothesline offers convenience and fun. To set up, download the body and key files, print two of each, clean up, drill holes if needed, and get 3mm filament. Insert the key into the body, run the filament through the holes, attach to objects, and repeat for the other side. The key can be removed for easy setup removal. Use your imagination as this system has various uses beyond a clothesline, but remember that the filament may creep under constant stress.
