Description

Most of the shower head holders I found screw to the wall or to a pole that is mounted to the wall - essentially, they are all for long-term use in a shower. I had shoulder surgery and only need to temporarily change the shower head position, so don't want to drill any holes or modify our shower - I just need this for a few weeks, although I don't see why it couldn't be used indefinitely. It's by no means as solid as a wall mount, but it does the trick when you don't want to modify your shower. Depending on the shower handle you have, this may also work in hotels or other locations where you need a temporary way to hold the shower head lower. Of course, how well this fits depends on your shower valve geometry, as well as your shower head geometry - but with some minor tweaks to the hanging part, the idea ought to work for most any shower with a wall-mounted valve and hand-held sprayer. I remixed the hinge and knob. I modified the holder for the head (the original design had straight sides, and I wanted a better fit for my shower head, which is a bit more conical - as are most shower heads). I then replaced the base with a loop that fits over the shower handle and hangs on the shaft of the handle. All parts are printed in the orientation shown in the STL files. No supports required. You need to add one 5/16"x2" hex bolt and nut for the hinge (I would normally use stainless steel for this, but didn't have any in my shop, so just used what I had - if it rusts, I'll replace the bolt). I had to chase the holes for the bolt with a 5/16" drill bit to make the bolt pass through easier (I reused the hinge, but if I was designing the hinge myself I'd have left a slightly bigger hole for clearance - but it's not a big enough deal to require a change). I printed with PTEG.
