GRABTOR | Foldable Print In Place Clothes Hanger

Every solution is unnecessary, until the problem arrives.

GRABTOR is a Print-In-Place clothes hanger. No assembling, no supports. Yet small enough for the tiny 180x180mm print beds.

Print, unfold, and it transforms into a full size clothes hanger. Measuring a whopping 420mm total width. Also features a 360° rotating hook design.

Settings below are carefully tuned to print hinges without permanent fusing.

Quick Start

• Clearance of the default model (3MF file) is 0.15mm

• STL models with 0.20mm and 0.25mm clearance are available

How to print

Use the provided stl file and import directly into your slicer. Orientation is optimized for printability, strength and smooth movement. Print this model in PLA, PETG or ABS for best results. Recommended settings:
• 0.2 mm layer height
• 3 Walls 
• NO supports/brim/raft
• Wall generator: Arachne
• Wall order: inner/outer/inner
• Detect overhang walls: unchecked

How to use

Gently pull both sides outwards after printing, to unbind the hinges with an audible click.
Use at home, work or on vacation. Fully collapsable to easily take it with you, wherever you might go to.

Unique Features

Special hinges

GRABTOR's hinges are oriented vertically along their rotation axis. A deliberate design choice that eliminates the need for supports entirely. A slight material fusion during printing is by design. Open the arms once, hear the click, and every hinge is permanently free. No tools, no cleanup, no second chances needed.

Fits on small 3D printers

The 4-bar linkage mechanism folds the entire structure into a compact footprint, making the GRABTOR fully printable on machines as small as the Bambu A1 mini. Full-size hanger. Minimal build plate. No compromises.

Every solution is unnecessary, until the problem arrives.

One hanger that folds flat and disappears into any bag, suitcase or pocket. GRABTOR is there when you need it, and completely out of the way when you don't.
