My Gravity Towel Hook is a gravity-activated towel hanger that automatically clamps when weight is applied, with no springs or latches needed. I prototyped this design 10+ times. It comes with one stock hexagon pattern, and you can customize the pattern with only a few clicks in your slicer.
Print settings:
- Infill: 25%
- Infill type: your choice
- Perimeters: +2
- Filament: PLA or PETG, or whatever suits you
- Brim/raft: No
- Supports: No, except yes for the custom pattern option
- Listed profile: 1 plate, 2 hours 21 minutes
Tips:
- Best for hand towels and lighter towels; heavy towels are not recommended.
- For a heavier towel, curve the top of the towel so it sits and does not slip when you let go.
- The hold is firm without tearing or pinching fabric, and the parts snap together for a strong, sturdy design.
- Sizes (±1 mm): base part 50 x 125 x 13 mm; hook/top part 35 x 120 x 26 mm; together 50 x 125 x 26 mm; screw holes 5 mm, with two ready-made holes for wall mounting.
- .3MF print files are provided for Prusa Slicer, Bambu Studio, and Anycubic Slicer Next.
- For a custom pattern, import the file to your slicer, add a height range modifier set from 0 to 7.75, turn top and bottom shell layers to 0, then choose the infill pattern and infill percentage you want.
