Backing Plates for a Skateboard Holder

thingiverse

I found a great design for a skateboard holder that I wanted to use, but because of the thickness of the wheels on my board they would still rest against the wall when on the hook. These two plates are my solution to that problem. The hook plate is designed to mate with the holder designed linked above. The rest plate was designed simply to be a place for the lower set of wheels to rest on. NOTE: The plates are twelve inches wide, so a large volume printer is required for this design. Instructions The parts were printed in ABS, with 10% infill. PLA would also suffice. The plates are twelve inches wide, so a large volume printer is required. I produced these on a LulzBot TAZ5, and even then I had to rotate the part to sit on the build plate at an approximately 45 degree angle in order for it to fit inside the build volume. The hook plate has an inset designed to accept the skateboard hook design I printed out. Using the rest plate for both the top and bottom could work too, and would yield another 1/4" clearance for the hook. I highly recommend the using of drywall anchors when installing these, especially for the hook.
