Description
Over the last couple of years, I've noticed that more and more I need reading glasses for some work - fine soldering, reading small text, the usual stuff. Having never had to wear glasses before, I have never developed proper ‘glasses discipline’, and as a result I spend as much time looking for my glasses as wearing them. Part of the problem, I realised, is that I have never assigned a proper place for them.
That's what this model is - a proper place for my glasses. Mounted to the side of my stationery cupboard, they are now ready to hand when I need them, and a little out of the way so they don't get covered up by some book or random lump of electronics. Four slots so that there's room for a spare pair, plus laser glasses and cycling glasses! I mounted the rack with cheap double-sided sticky pads from Amazon, the kind that can be removed and repositioned without residue and reused. They seem to be working so far!
(Update: the ‘repositionable’ sticky pads proved to be ‘spontaneously repositionable’, when they repositioned themselves onto the floor after a couple of hours. Now fixed with some 3M VHB tape which is not repositionable and should hold on there forever!)
I printed it in the supplied orientation (back to bed) with no supports in black GST3D PLA+ and layer height of 0.2.
