White Board Bracket

thingiverse

I had to hang my white board on the wall, but the parts on the back weren't doing the job. So, I came up with these brackets! Even though they have overhangs, they're positioned at a 45-degree angle so they can be printed without a raft or supports. I printed four of them in purple PLA because I had some lying around and it worked great! Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 mm Infill: 25% Post-Printing: Tear off helper disks, clean up any bits of excess plastic. Note that the very top printed a little wavy because there wasn't enough surrounding plastic to dissipate the heat. But it was still usable. How I Designed This: I took some measurements of my white board's thickness and a size for the corner that felt right, then measured them with calipers. I sketched out my idea in a notebook and designed it in Sketchup. I exported it as an STL file, tilted it 45 degrees in the Makerbot app to make sure it rested on the platform, added some helper disks to the design, and saved it again as an STL file from the Makerbot app. From my Notebook: Numbers are in millimeters
