3D printed version of Ikea Dignitet

If you have ever used the Ikea Dignitet wire hanger kit they are great for hanging light paintings or awards ribbons. Since both my spouse and daughter show competitively we have probably hundreds of ribbons from years of horse shows. So of course they have to get hung up. In the past I have used the Ikea Dignitet hanger kit (see photo) but the last few I opened had really terrible threads and even when I cleaned the threads with a tap they tended to cross-thread on the post, and I never liked the tensioning method. I also recently discovered Kevlar Cord at Amazon which at any weight I will be hanging is a strong as steel cable. And so I decided to make 3D printed ones. 

Now since the obvious print direction makes layer adhesion everything you're going to need a strong plastic (PLA will likely snap) and I SLA printed this in a tough resin, but I imagine nylon or PC will do just fine (probably PETG for that matter). I also found that putting M3 washers under the mounting screws helps the screws not break through the plastic. When feeding the cord through I put a knot in the end on the side with the hole. On the other side simply pull through and down into the slot and secure with a knot on the far side. So much easier to tension than Ikea's turnbuckle system. Note there is a notch to signify the top of the mounting plate. I used standard 50lb (20kg) self-tapping anchors (the white ones) in my walls. which worked really well. but any button head screw will work.

Ikea sells a special add on which i a corner post, but with the kevlar cord you can just use the side with a hole and just for around the corner given how flexible it is. If People really want I can design an actual corner part but seems unnecessary.

I modeled this in OnShape CAD and printed on a Formlabs Form 3 in Tough 1500 resin and with build platform 2 just printed it right on the platform
