Shower holder (adjustable to any direction)

<p>This is a highly redesigned remix of Shower Holder with swivel adjustment<br>by owsam3dprint (May 04, 2018, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2892895). I like the idea of the ball joint but I don't like the direction that shower holder points to (mainly to the side and not to the bottom). This is why I made the base with 15 degrees slope that can point the shower both to the bottom and to the sides. I also made the distance between the holes 50 mm as I already had these holes in the wall left from the previous shower holder.</p><p><strong>Print settings.</strong></p><p>I used PETG with 4 walls and 40% infill for all the parts. But it is very important to print the petals of the ball joint with 100% infill, otherwise you will break them when you try to insert the ball inside (it goes in rather hard). The easiest way in Cura to make 100% infill for the petals and leave 40% infill for the rest of the base is to use a cylinder rotated 15 degrees and positioned over the petals, starting 2-3 mm below their bottom. Then set "Per model settings" - "Modify settings for overlaps" and set "Bottom layers" to 999.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/319873/rich_content/523cb438-76ed-4af6-94c9-415f64660664/screenshot_20221118_144738.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e0421d60-cab2-4b86-b983-7f18be3adadd%22%2C%22w%22%3A1138%2C%22h%22%3A581%7D"></figure><p>I recommend to push the ball when the nut is slightly screwed to the petals, this will decrease the possibility to break them by bending too far to the sides.</p><p>Print only one base that you like - with square or rectangular corners depending on the style of your shower cabin or personal preference.</p><p>Holder needs support, other parts don't.<br>Nut should be printed upside-down (rotate it 180 degrees in Cura).</p><p>Cap is optional, print 2 of them if needed. They are used to protect bolts from rust and also for decorative purposes.</p><p>Spacer is optional, it is only printed if your shower sits too loosely in the holder. I glued it with hot glue gun because hot glue is easy to unglue and remove later in case I buy a thicker shower in the future.</p><p><strong>Enjoy!</strong></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/319873/rich_content/96650ae9-ecfe-4116-aaf0-3a12d59b762e/tn.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d5e42b76-97f5-497b-886a-6e69f7be8e2b%22%2C%22w%22%3A3840%2C%22h%22%3A2160%7D"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/319873/rich_content/bffc40a7-eaca-4a94-bff1-a2e64b9301a5/tn1.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%227724e57e-279d-4891-8d08-7261d706cd6e%22%2C%22w%22%3A1920%2C%22h%22%3A1080%7D"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/319873/rich_content/5f886791-3a04-4541-ab3d-d93b8eb98532/tn3.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e6102f04-efae-49bb-bce5-3069a9ab582e%22%2C%22w%22%3A3840%2C%22h%22%3A2160%7D"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/319873/rich_content/b4838786-3ef2-4f9e-b998-2fd02bc28d33/tn4.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22a0a586bd-b726-4f6f-91b2-4d981d090b6e%22%2C%22w%22%3A1920%2C%22h%22%3A1080%7D"></figure>
