Description

Been wanting to make a fishing rod hanger for the garage door for a long time. Finally got around to doing it. Holds up in East TN weather using PETG pretty good and stays snappy. Hope you guys like it. gif was added to show assembly :)

What type of spring are you using and where can they be purchased?

The designer has replied

@thamitchsta

it's a printed spring.....petg is recommended

@3DPope21

Replying to @thamitchsta :

is printing it using PLA an option?

@thamitchsta

you could, my garage would get hot and the spring would loose some springyness

@romych.flyfishi

how do I fix the lid? I'm not holding up... it is better to provide a connection on small bolts. I would loosen the spring so that the rod fits easily.

@thamitchsta

if you scroll on the photos I have an assembly gif. as for the spring, maybe heat it up a little bit and bend it in?
