Towel Rack With Shelf

Bathroom Essentials Contest inspired me to finally start my long-delayed project. The goal is to make all holes drilled by previous owner of my flat in the bathroom walls usefull. So „Project Bathroom” Part 1 – Towel rack with shelf. I had two holes near my mirror. Probably some small bathroom cabinet was previously there. I don’t really needed cabinet. What was really missing was a towel rack near the sink! OK, but the towel is 50cm x 90cm and the holes in the wall were too high and just 44cm apart… That sounds like a challenge! ;) I need to get the level as low as possible and spread the sides of my towel rack to get at least 51cm between them. Well, that also give me a space to make some shelf, great! That was a plan and what you see here is the execution of it :) My design will require a printer with at least 30cm in X or Y direction. That makes my first MakerOnline exclusive, as most of the competition don’t even produce printers big enough. Anycubic have few models, maybe some of you have it, or some looking for the reason to buy one? ;) What do you need to make this model? 1. At least 750g of filament in desired color. Preferably PETG or ABS/ASA for strength and longevity. 2. Aluminium tubes/pipes. I love them, I use them often in my designs. Strong, cheap, easy available on eBay, Amazon and in local DIY shops. - 3 peaces of 12mm diameter, 1mm thick wall pipes/tubes – length 53.8 - 54cm. I suggest to buy 2m long one, as in my local DIY shop 1m long cost around 4 Euro and 2m long just 1 Euro more! - 1 peace of 20mm diameter, 1mm wall thick pipe/tube – length 53.8 – 54cm. IMPORTANT! I failed with one print because 12.0mm in diameter pipe was in fact 12.1mm. I don’t know what kind of accuracy your pipes will be so I made holes slightly bigger. Connection might be loose for you. Solution in point 4. 3. Two rawlplugs to mount this towel rack. If you decide to make same as mine, with 51cm for the towel, the distance between rawlplugs may be from 43 to 49cm. Finish
