PolySnap (it..) PolyDryer Wall Mount (now with style) v. 1.1

PolySnap (it.. - and now in style) - the more easier and efficient wall mount for the PolyDryer -- Update 03.2026

The PolySnap is a mechanically optimized wall mount for the PolyDryer, designed with print orientation, load paths and material behavior in mind. It addresses some of the weak areas of the original one by combining a modular multi part design with a snap-fit locking for the PolyDryer.

How does it work?

If you want to mount your Polydryer at  your wall, you just need to put in on the lower hook and push it to the wall. The upper hook will snap in your PolyDryer.

If you want to remove the PoylDryer Box, you have two options. You can lift the clip and the box will fall out (try to catch it =) ) or you can lift the box with a little move upwards. The PolyDryer- Box will leave immediately. 

Modular Architecture

The mount is intentionally split into multiple parts to eliminate unfavorable layer orientations in critical stress zones. By allowing each component to be printed in its strongest axis, tensile and shear loads are transferred parallel to the layer lines rather than across them, significantly reducing the risk of delamination and brittle failure.

Snap-Fit Mechanism

The original sliding interface has been replaced by a compliant snap-fit mechanism joined by a 3D printed spring. The Poly Dryer can easily be snapped on the wall and can be released with a little push upwards. 

Print settings:

Material: ASA - I printed the prototypes in PLA which also were functionally, except for the spring: I tried the spring in PLA, Flex, PETG and ASA. PLA broke directly, Flex didn't had the tension needed, PETG was good - ASA was better :)

Layer height: 0,2 mm (Balanced profile for Prusament ASA) - all dimensions are optimized for 0,2 mm layers; if you choose less or more layer height, expect that the dimensions could be out of shape.

Perimeters: 4 - my settings for this product :)

Infill: 25 % - for the final version.

Update 03.2026:

Here we go, this is the first update on the PolySnap.. And now, if you want, you can snap in style.

Changelog (v. 1.1):

• Base changed from 5 to 6 mm thickness

• Change the hole size and the chamfer on the mounting holes

• Tolerances are now tighter

• Changed mounting of the springcover

• Added rips to upper hook and clip

• Base plate is wider at the downside

• Lower hook is wider for better fit in work with the PolyDryer

• 1 mm more distance between base and PolyDryer

• Optimized the guidance for the clip to achieve more guidance surface and less wearing

• You have now two choices for the base plate - with or without cutout

Please have a look at the picture for seam positioning at the spring:

If you want to add a little bit more fanciness to your PolySnap, you can choose the one with the cut out. This one is made for a little color accent if you have a single extruder printer like the Core One. In this version the inner part is an inlay. 

If you want your PolySnap clean and functional, you can choose the single color version. 

THE TWO VERSIONS DON'T CHANGE THE FUNCTION! Everyhing will be the same. 

Many thanks to Det-Man for first trying and feedback. :)
