Christmas Lights Fence Hanger

thingiverse

Almost Christmas again. And (in a vain effort to keep the wife happy) almost time to put up the lights. I normally put some on our back fence. We're next to a park so I put lights on both sides. In the past I've used cable ties, but this year (armed with a 3D printer) I've come up with a holder that goes over the fence and can hold up to 6 strings of lights. The design was done in OpenScad so it can be easily tailored to meet other fence sizes. The little clip on the bottom stops the wind blowing them off. It's pretty lightweight but plenty strong enough for the job. I'll need about 60 in all, so I'm printing them in lots of 6. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm/layer Infill: None Notes: 2 perimeters no infill 0.4mm nozzle.
