Mount your shower-rod in slanted bathrooms using this one neat trick. No screws needed!
This print requires two large 3M Command strips, and is best printed in a hydrophobic material like PETG or ABS. I had great success with PETG.
This print will require you to use FreeCAD to enter in the following information:
- The diameter of your shower rod
- The slant of your wall (in the x axis) in degrees
- The slant of your wall (in the y axis) in degrees
In my case, my bathroom had a wall slant in both axis, which is represented here. You can modify the following parameters to meet your own needs:
angle_x- The slant angle of the wall in the X axis (if your wall is slanted in one direction, set this to 0) (deg)angle_y- The slant angle of the wall in the Y axis (this is a normal slant) (deg)base_width- How wide the base should be (currently for two large command strips) (mm)base_height- How tall the base should be (currently for two large command strips) (mm)diam- The diameter of the shower rod (mm)thickness- The wall thickness (mm)ext_depth- How far the shower rod holder extrusion should be (mm)ext_cut_depth- How far the shower rod holder inner cut should be (mm)
After moving to a much nicer (but older) home, the shower exists beneath partially slanted ceiling (with a skew in both X and Y). This meant that the shower rod was mounted uncomfortably low, and I wasn't going to have that. This model was a response to that - and was also a deeper dive into FreeCAD datums.
