Wallmount Drumstick Holder

thingiverse

Disclaimer: I am not a drummer, made this for my wife who plays the drums. So if I use any wrong tech terms please don't kill me :-) She wanted something to mount on the wall behind her drum kit that would hold her sticks and look nice. So I came up with these "rails" designed to be glued behind some thin (up to 2mm) sheet of material. I chose a sheet of aluminium, used epoxy glue to affix them and then spraypainted the whole thing black. The hooks in the rails will hold sticks of up to 16mm diameter or up to 5B. The average 2B stick will be just a bit too thick. Edit - I have added a set of two-hook rails that will hold 17mm diameter sticks, which should work for 2B sticks and rutes. Also added a wallmount set of two pieces. Instructions Just print the left and right rail. I designed two sizes (to hold two and three sticks, respectively). The two-hook rails are available in 16mm and 17mm diameter to fit standard sticks and thicker sticks/rutes. The three-hook rails only fit my print bed if rotated 45° so a four-stick one would be impossible to print. But they are designed so you can just mount several ones below each other. After printing, get a thin (up to two mm) sheet of material, cut it to the desired size, and glue the rails behind it (using epoxy or superglue) so the hooks stick out at the sides. I used standard size aluminium sheets from the hardware store. They are 25x50cm, 1mm thick, and fit almost perfectly. The two piece wallmount works like this: The piece with the holes gets screwed to the wall, the other one gets glued to the back of the sheet and slides over the part screwed to the wall.
