<\/a><\/p>\n“I should really do something about that…” but we only really NEEDED one shower, and you can’t buy the brackets separately, so I did nothing. I wasn’t going to spend $100 for a shower we’d never use.

\nFlash forward to the present. We’re going to have a house guest staying with us for the next couple months. Now having 2 showers makes a lot of sense, but I still didn’t want to spend $100. So I set about designing a set of support brackets that would be a bit stronger.<\/p>\n
I designed 2 sizes. one with the original hole spacing, and a smaller one in case the first guy wouldn’t fit on the Thingomatic’s build platform.<\/p>\n It turns out that I had to go with the smaller one. “Smaller.” Each bracket was was still a 3 hour print. It would have been faster if I hadn’t done 100% fill, but these are load bearing so I didn’t want to take any chances.<\/p>\n I’m not all that happy with the print quality, but they should be fine. I did the white one first, and about 2.5 hours in I accidentally disconnected usb, stopping the print. oh well. The next day I printed the yellow one. I used yellow because we were almost out of white and I didn’t think I’d have enough. The plastic wasn’t flowing as well with the yellow. I probably should have used a different temperature, but again, on a 3 hour print you just let it go.<\/p>\n All in all I’m really happy in the “problem solved” department. I’m not going to be doing pull-ups off this thing any time soon, but I’m pretty sure that the brackets will be the last thing to break if this ever comes down again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve lived in my house for 2 years now. 2 weeks after we moved in, someone who shall remain nameless turned our 2 bathroom house into a 1.5 bath.
