Rod stop (for not so smart vacuum robots)
thingiverse
This is a basic solution to prevent vacuum robots from climbing up rods and getting stuck on them. For me, this has been an issue with both my Deebot 605 and my clothes drying rack. The design for this item is fully parametric within Fusion360. You can download the source files, which will allow you to adjust the dimensions according to your needs. Simply open the file in Fusion360, go to Modify/Change Parameters, and input your desired specifications. The STL provided is designed for rods with a diameter of 16mm and a height of 75mm. Alternatively, you can simply scale the item to fit your rod's diameter or leave a comment with your specific dimensions, and I may create an STL file tailored to your needs if I have time available. I use this solution in conjunction with my rod spacer (available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4126792).
