Bill of Materials
Description
Maximum Stability with Minimum Material Usage
The SlatsHold Pro system is the perfect DIY solution for building a modern, elegant, and durable privacy screen or slat fence. Following the success of the movable version, this fixed "Light" version was specifically developed for maximum efficiency: With only approx. 33g filament per slat (total weight for the left/right holder pair), this design saves valuable print time and material costs without compromising robustness.
The holders are precisely designed for standard wooden slats with dimensions of 98 mm x 22 mm (width x thickness). The slight incline of the mount guarantees optimal privacy protection with excellent air circulation and an elegant play of light.
Key Features & Advantages:
- Ultralight & Cost-Efficient: Only ~33g per slat (set). Perfect for large projects.
- Precise Fit: Optimized for common slat dimensions of 98x22 mm.
- Professional Appearance: Conceals the cut edges of the wood, providing a clean, purchased-like finish.
- Versatile: Ideal for garden fences, balcony privacy screens, trash can enclosures, patio partitions, or modern wall cladding.
- Easy Assembly: Integrated countersunk screw holes for quick and flush attachment to the post, as well as additional fixing points for the slat itself.
🛠️ Print & Material Recommendations
Since this is an outdoor product permanently exposed to the elements, the following settings should be chosen:
- Material Recommendation: * ASA: The best choice for outdoor use (extremely UV and weather resistant, matte surface).
- PETG (painted / UV-stabilized): Very good alternative, but should ideally be painted or printed in UV-resistant black to protect against UV embrittlement.
- Infill: 10% – 30% (Grid or Gyroid for maximum load capacity)
- Walls: At least 3–4 walls for optimal stability at the screw points.
- Orientation on the Print Bed: Lay flat on its side (as seen in the slicer screenshot) to utilize maximum stability along the layers (Layer Lines) when exposed to wind.
