Description

This 3D model is designed for 3D printing and serves as a multifunctional storage solution, perfect for securely holding skis and a variety of other suitable equipment. It consists of a base plate with two attachable holders that use gravity to clamp down on inserted items, such as skis, ensuring they stay firmly in place. The inner surfaces of these holders are crafted from TPU, a material chosen for its durability and flexibility, to prevent any damage to the stored items while providing extra grip for a more secure hold.

Additionally, two hooks are integrated below the holders, designed specifically for hanging ski poles, enhancing this model's utility as an all-in-one storage solution for skiing equipment. However, the versatility of the design allows it to accommodate other gear that fits within the dimensions of the holders, making it ideal for organizing garden tools, workshop items, and any other suitable equipment.

All components, except for the TPU inner surfaces, are recommended to be printed in PLA to balance environmental considerations with the need for durability. For enhanced strength capable of withstanding greater loads, it is advised to print the model using the Bambu Studio "Strength" profile or with six wall lines.

This approach ensures a robust construction that can securely store not just ski equipment but also any other compatible items, making it a versatile addition to homes, garages, or workshops.

All in all this is a nice design, printed on a P1S. The rotating gear mechanism and the bolts that hold them in fit nicely and worked smoothly. The underside of the overhangs for the ski pole hooks came out a little messy but maybe some supports could have resolved that. I can put a broom handle in the holder it and seems like it could hold much more weight without slipping if I pull down on the broom. Assembling the TPU grips onto the rotating mechanism was _extremely_ tight and difficult to get on. For one of them I spent significant time post-processing with a torch and razor blade to clean up both nubs so they could slide all the way into the receiving slots. On the second gripper I ended up adding an "X-Y contour compensation" of -0.02mm, which seemed to improve the fit without affecting the tiny gripper fins too much and reduced the the amount of post-processing I had to do. Do not try to print the gripper part in any other material because it won't fit. It'd be great if a little more clearance could be added to the model here. Printed with Bambu basic PLA and OVERTURE TPU

Great fit.

Very nice project. I printed 2 pieces out of PLA and 2 pieces out of PETG. No problems with all of them. Good tight fit. I read about slipping by the ski, i had the same Problem. The solution is to mount the holder very high, so the curve of the nose prevent slipping. Thanks, boosted !!!

Printed beautifully. TPU pads are a bit hard to get onto the solid parts though. Edit from 5 to 4 stars: Hung skis up and I'm real iffy on whether or not this thing is going to hold them up. I've had one gear slip already when I put a heavier pair on them. Will come back later if I wake up to a broken car window from the skis falling

I really like how you are able to hold your skis vertical on a wall. I took some time finding the right model to print, and ran across many others. I was debating on printing a vertical set or a horizontal set. I came across this model and knew it was right. My skis fit in there perfectly and started printing more as I have three sets of skis. Great model idea!

Other Issues:The PLA parts printed nicely, but I ran into major issues with the TPU gripper. The tolerances were far too tight, and even after a lot of trimming and re-printing, it was impossible to get it to fit properly. In the end, I had to cut off the two lines on the gripper and glue them in place. It turned into a bit of a headache and took me the whole day to get working, so unfortunately I had to leave a low rating. I’d recommend providing an alternate print profile with the connection points on the gripper removed. This way, you could just glue them on without all the extra hassle.

Other Issues:The problem with this model is that, it ain’t work like the gravity ski holders you see online. 1. The diameter of the cylinders is too big make them way too tight to fit in the top part(the twisting mechanism). 2. Too much friction on the toothed wheel. As a gravity holder, it should work with gravity. As you can see in my pictures, the two part are not falling into the lowest position. I even used some lubricant there. Printed in Bambu White/Black PLA But it will hold your ski/snowboard

I redesigned the TPU parts so that the fins are 1mm wide instead of 0.4-5mm wide. This drastically reduced the print time and retractions per layer from around 40-50 retractions to 1. Ender 3 S1 Pro print time of 1.5 hours compared to 6 hours with the original file.

Do you share the newly designed TPU parts

@MavericB

poor design, post too close together to get gears over the top, and the tolerance is too tight to even get the gears on the post much less to turn on their own

I think the print is very fussy about the type of TPU. I've had to do significant trimming to get it fit correctly.
