I bought one of these vertical drying racks to save some space. My old drying rack had some clips along the rods to attach socks to, which I am missing now. The only possible solution to this problem is to print something :)
I am learning to design things in Fusion 360 and wanted to challenge myself with this problem. So I did not look at any existing solutions and wanted to design my own version with a free mind. The requirements are
I made several versions until I came up with a design that consisted of two parts: the sock clip and the rod clip. The tricky part was the clamping mechanism:
By printing the bar clamp vertically, the print will be strong along that axis and it should be possible to attach and detach the clip from the bar even with the part printed in PLA without breaking it. The sock clips can be printed flat on the bed.
There is a test print which is a minimized version. Use it to check if everything works before printing the normal version.
The normal version is 225 mm long and has to be printed three times to maximize the space.
Recommended material is ABS. Use a brim or raft for the vertical parts and print them slowly (on a BambuLab X1C I printed them at 50mm/s with three layer raft to be 100% safe). It is also possible to print everything in PLA, but the sock clamps are quite stiff and it is difficult to attach the socks (maybe a material problem in my test print).
I also attached the Fusion 360 file, so it's possible to change parameters such as the rod diameter. There is a connector clip in the Fusion file that I experimentally added, but it did not fit properly and is also not required, just ignore it.
