Hang five hangers in the rod space of one. This multihanger mounts on a standard closet rod and drops a notched arm; each notch takes one hanger hook, so shirts and coats stack vertically instead of eating up rod space.
Why another multihanger? Every vertical multihanger I've used hangs from a single open hook, and under constant load that hook creeps. After a few months the plastic slowly bends open and the whole thing starts sliding or slipping off the rod. This is a two-part design that fixes that: a reinforcement piece closes around the rod and locks the hook, so there is no open end left to spread. I have some of these holding five heavy coats each; the open-hook designs I tried before deformed under that load in every material I tested including nylon, PET-CF, PC, PLA, and PETG.
Printing
Print the reinforcement piece flat on the bed. That puts the layer lines in the strongest orientation for the clamping load; don't print it standing up.
Main arm: I like a .8 nozzle with 4 walls, 4 top and 4 bottom.
Material: PLA is plenty strong enough, but ABS/ASA is actually the best hobbyist grade material for resisting loads over time.
Fit and assembly
Fits closet rods up to 30mm diameter.
Slip the arm's hook over the rod, then close the reinforcement piece around it.
Inspired by the classic vertical space-saver hangers; designed from scratch to fix the hook-creep problem they all share.
