Screw-free bracket, two pole cradles

Holds a pair of poles out from the wall without a single screw going into the bracket. Two cradles at the tip keep the poles side by side, and each one gets a sleeve and a rounded end cap. Change the pole diameter and how far out they sit to match your own.

Notes
Print the bracket pieces flat so the layers run along the arm. The sleeve and cap walls are thin enough to print as solid walls anyway.

Hardware

  • 4 × 5 mm countersunk wood screws + wall plugs · Pick the length and plug to suit your wall

Assembly

  1. Screw the wall piece to the wall with the four 5 mm screws.
  2. Slide the arm onto the dovetail from the side until it stops, then tap it home. The joint tightens as it goes in.
  3. Push the two poles into the sleeve from each end until they hit the middle stop.
  4. Tap the end cap onto the free end of the pole with a soft mallet.
  5. Drop the pole into the open cradle.

Good to know

  • The strength numbers are estimates from typical PETG. Hang the 15 kg gently at first and watch the dovetail joint and the brace.
  • The snug and press fits depend on your printer. Print the sleeve and cap first and nudge the Sleeve fit and End cap fit sliders if they're too tight or too loose.
  • The Use it animation still won't play. The checker flags a speck-sized contact (0.01 mm³) between the pole and the cradle that I couldn't track down. It's display-only and doesn't touch the printed parts. 'How it goes together' plays fine.
