Rod holder for musquito net on sliding door

thingiverse

We have a sliding door and an abundance of flying pests that are eager to get inside. Standard mosquito nets aren't effective enough, and since we enjoy the rare days of sunshine here, I wasn't willing to invest a fortune in a solution either. The rope mosquito net I found isn't suitable because it poses a hanging risk for our toddler, so I created a holder where I can place a wooden rod on which I attached several pieces of mosquito netting. This setup hangs outside the door between the non-moving parts, and voila, an open door with no unwanted visitors. After printing, I made a small hole in one of the backs to allow me to screw it into the structure (the first design was created using Blender, but I had no idea how to make a hole). Just be sure not to hang it at the absolute top so you can easily place and remove the rod from the brackets. Simply scale it to fit your structure's dimensions. The walls are slightly thicker for added sturdiness. I printed this design on Cura using default draft settings, with 5 walls taking just 37 minutes (1 bracket).
