3D Printed Bed Divider

If anyone is interested, I designed this bed divider out of PVC and posted my STL models to 3D print on Thingiverse.

Oh hell yes! I'll be printing these tonight!

Out of curiosity, could you do away with the u-bolts and stabilizers if you just sanded the pvc elbows flat on the bottom and had them in contact with the bed? Indicated by the red circles. Do you think that would keep it in place?

 

I'm sure you could. I originally just had 1 foot at the bottom with no u-bolts and stabilizers, but wasn't enough to keep it from swinging.

 

Just mocked this up real quick. Maybe use this X2 for the bottom along with a length of square tubing along the bottom to keep it from rotating?

 

That would give it weight at the bottom and place it against the bed, so it may work.

 

Well, if sketchup stops acting up and lets me export the stl, I'll upload it if you want, so you can add it to thingiverse.

 

Made a few tweaks to accommodate for these wing nuts so I could install everything without any tools.
