Shower Shelf

prusaprinters

A shower shelf with lots of space that uses the shower shaft (24mm) as the fixation point. Printing instruction:I used PETG for a robust material that is can take some heat and not deform.I used 3 perimeters for added strength and 25% grid infill.Use the orientation of the models as provided. Some model will require supports (Argola1, Argola2, Ancora).I recommend you first print the fixation models and test in your shower (Argola1, Argola2, Parafuso and Ancora). Test this before you do the other prints, that are time consuming and use a lot of material).For the two baskets I printed the with the following technique (I use Prusaslicer so if you use a different slicer please adapt this instructions to your slicer of choice): Added the basket (Cesto.stl) and added a modifier object:  The object is already aligned with the basket.Adjust top and bottom layers in the modifier object:  This way when you slice the bottom will only be the infill.Also add the extrusion width of the infill: Set this to .8  (it works fine with a .4 nozzle)Now when you slice you have this “open” bottom:  Do not forget to use 3 perimeters otherwise the Infill connection may be weak. Slide you sliced model to verify that there is solid connection:  Do the same for the other basket (Cesto 2.stl and Modificador2.stl). Assemble Instructions:With all the models printed you first need to join Argola 1 and 2 to Ancora:  You may need to make some pressure to fit them in place.  After assembled you show be able to open and close the aperture that will connect in the shower. Test it in your shower. It should require a little force to fully close and then secure with the screw. If you think it’s too tight, please use a sanding paper to fine tune it to your needs. Important: The correct orientation is the part with the screw is closer to the wall and the “bunny ears” are on top.   The two sides should be fully joined without any gaps. If tis fully secured in place you can now fit the top:  If the tolerances are too tight, please use a sanding paper to help it fit. In my case worked fine, but the first assemble was more difficult than the actual fit in the shower. The center hub should be solid and stable. Now you can fit the baskets:  Final thoughts and disclaimers: This build works very well for me but may not be perfect for you due to usage of different printers, materials, and the shower itself. Please consider this as is, and you assume the risks of printing and using this design.  If you like this design, please leave it a like and share it with your friends. If you really, really liked it please consider a small donation. Cheers,Rui
