It is designed to fit over any clothesline with a line diameter of 5mm or less, and has a spring clip embedded in the central support tower that prevents the basket being knocked or bounced off the clothesline.
It is quite large, with a basket size of 200mm long by 140.6mm wide, by 218.5mm high. It requires a printer with a bed greater than 200x150mm
All pieces are oriented ready for printing. I'd recommend layer thickness of 0.15mm, with 3 perimeters for the central support column and wheels, and 2 perimeters for the sides and base of the basket. The print uses around 260gm of filament. I do not recommend using a very brittle filament (e.g., some transparent PLA filaments) as the design requires a little bit of flex to clip it all together. Normal PLA is fine. The example here is printed in Polyterra Matte PLA.
For a two colour print, do a layer change on each side piece at 0.8mm high.
This is a tight tolerance design, so you'll need a well calibrated printer. I use this to check for over/under extrusion: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1622868
