When loaded these holders are pretty heavy. Hanging them in a closet is a convenient and compact way to store a large inventory of adhesive or heat-transfer vinyl on rolls but it's difficult to move them along the rail. This hanger is made to fit the 3/8" steel hanger rod of Closet Maid systems and incorporates a 623 (10 mm X 3 mm X 4 mm) ball bearing, making moving the hanger along the rail easy. The centerline of the bearing is over the center of the hanger pins so the hanger remains level, even when heavily loaded.

This is an easy print with no supports but it needs to be pretty dense to hold the weight. After printing, poke a 3 mm drill into the dowel pin hole to assure correct sizing. Install the bearing and the dowel pin and it's ready to go.

PLA works for this despite the weight. I had an earlier version (without the ball bearing) hanging for months with no strength issues. The only problem with that version was the difficulty of moving the hanger along the closet rod.
