Description
** This ladder is heavy and 3D-printed hangers can break. Don't hang anything you aren't comfortable with and take precautions to ensure you screw into studs and reinforce suitably.
I had to print this laying flat on the bed which makes it weak in the direction the ladder would be pulling down on it which made me nervous it would suddenly snap lengthwise. If you could print it vertically it would be stronger. You can increase infill (I did 50%), print two or more brackets to split the weight between multiple rungs of the ladder or in my case made two very strong supports to help the main bracket.
I screwed the supports under the bracket to add a lot of strength and feel reasonably confident it wont come down but there is always a chance it could fall. I have it into a stud to help support the weight.
