StashHanger

This is a fun idea I had and I think it has practical application. Use the space under clothes hangers (inside hung garments) for storage or safekeeping of valuables. I am thinking of a passport, credit cards, cash, keys, etcetera. Check it out…

I replicated the size and shape of some nice wooden hangers I have, so this is a good full-size hanger. Nice for hanging almost any kind of garment. But I made it folding so it can print in most printers with a 220mm x 220mm bed. And, folding means easier to put away or ship as well. The snap-in hook does not spin but you can put it into the hanger in either direction and remove and change it if needed.

Under the hanger is a print-in-place compliant set of prongs that hold the case in place. The prongs can be withdrawn by pulling up on the ring in the centre of the hanger. I chose this approach so that I can have one standard mounting system and add various sizes of containers to it as needed.

I have also made a simple folding hanger as well. I did this because some might like to have a plain hanger but also because it will help the “hiding” of the stash hanger – if you print multiple hangers the one stash hanger will not be so obviously different.

Printing

I have tried to make my main print settings visible on the Cura screenshot but in case they are difficult to read I have summarized them again here…

Material: I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility.

My Setup:
Nozzle = 0.4mm

My Settings:
Layer height = 0.2mm
Line width = 0.4mm
Wall count = 4 (1.6mm)
Infill = 40%
Ironing = ON (this is important to help separate areas that have been printed separately but on top of another area).

Support:
Designed to print without support.

Print Orientation: As shown in the screenshot(s).

Instructions and Assembly Notes

Just press the hook into the hanger and snap in the container. You are good to go.
