Clothes Rack Foot

Robot Vacuum Protector & Riser for Clothes Rack (Ø 16mm Tube)

Who doesn't know this? The robot vacuum starts its round and relentlessly gets stuck on the flat bottom bars of the clothes rack. It rams them, climbs halfway up, gets stuck, and aborts the cleaning.

This simple but extremely effective extension solves the problem permanently!

💡 The Principle

The foot is simply placed over the metal tube at the corners of the clothes rack and secured with cable ties. This way, the design serves two purposes:

1. Height Upgrade: The clothes rack is raised by crucial centimeters.
2. Climb Stop: A steep, solid barrier is created, which is immediately recognized as an obstacle by the bumper sensors or laser turret (LiDAR) of your robot vacuum (e.g. Roborock). The robot neatly turns away instead of getting stuck.

📏 Fit & Dimensions

• This model is precisely designed for clothes racks with a tube diameter of 16 mm (standard for many common models). Please briefly measure your tube before printing!

🛠️ Assembly Instructions

• Placement: Place the printed feet onto the bent corners of your clothes rack's bottom tubes.
• Attachment: Thread 5 small cable ties each through the designated slots in the model and around the tube (see pictures).
• Finish: Clip off the excess ends of the cable ties – done!

🖨️ Print Recommendations (Print Settings)

• Material: PETG recommended (for the necessary toughness and flexibility so that the tabs do not break when tightening the cable ties).
• Infill: 50% (for maximum stability and durability, in case you accidentally bump into the rack).
• Walls/Walls: At least 3–4 wall lines, so that the cable tie holders are stable.
• Orientation: Best printed lying flat on its side, so the model requires absolutely no support!
