Flyswatter Wall Hanger (tape or screws)

A small wall holder for a flyswatter. Slide the shaft through the slot at the front and let go: the grip tapers, so it drops into the pocket behind the slot and wedges there, hanging straight. Lift it out to use it.

How it fits

• The front slot is 8.8 mm wide, just wider than the swatter's 8.3 mm shaft.

• The pocket behind it is 13 mm wide, so a grip tapering from 8.9 to 23.2 mm wide seats about 28 mm down its taper.

• The lip in front of the pocket slopes, so it prints without supports. The slot has a small chamfer at the top to guide the shaft in.

Made for a swatter with an 8.3 × 8.5 mm shaft and an 8.5 mm thick grip. Measure yours: if it is different, the FreeCAD model is included, and every size is a cell in its spreadsheet. Set hanger_gap_widthto the shaft plus 0.5 mm and hanger_pocket_widthto where you want the grip to seat. On a shallow taper, 0.1 mm of pocket width moves the seat by about 0.7 mm.

Two versions

• Hanger: for 20 mm double-sided foam mounting tape. The back plate is 24 mm wide to take it. This is the one in the photos.

• Hanger Screws: the same part with two countersunk Ø4 mm holes for 3.5 mm wood screws with heads up to 7 mm.

Both are 24 × 50 × 17 mm.
