I have a clothes rod in the basement and it was sagging a bit, so I made this to help support it. The model prints flat and then we use the flexibility of the filament/print to insert it around and close on the rod. For the “wrap around loop” I used the kind of screws that one usually finds in plastic things (see photo). If you don't have one of those a #4 screw will also work. For the top, any #6 wood screw will do. #8 screws will fit also but be a bit tight on the print.

I used 3 perimeters with 20% cubic infill but you should adjust it depending on how much weight goes on the rod or how much it is currently sagging.

FreeCAD and STEP files included for customization.
