It's the COOLEST coat hanger you've ever seen! The EZPZ Hanger features a quick locking system that allows you to fold the arms down to hang up clothes in a more gentle manner.
The simple gravity-powered lock automatically keeps the arms in place when opened up, and can be easily released by lifting the lock. The modular multi-part design lets you customize each hanger to your needs and aesthetic.
"Happy clothes, happy life!"
Printing Guidelines
All parts are quite simple and will generally work with your default print settings. You may want to increase wall/shell count to 3 or 4 for the arms and hook if you plan on hanging heavy garments, but I've found just 2 shells and 15% infill works well for general use. I did use 3 shells for the pins, and since they're so small you may even want to print them solid for longevity.
Print the 'Arm' part twice. Both arms are identical, just rotated (do not mirror). You can use the 'Arm_wHook' variation for the ability to hang clothes from straps.
Print one set of 'Pin_A' and 'Pin_B' for the basic hanger, and four more sets if you want to attach the optional Shoulder attachments.
The various Shoulder parts soften the ends of the hanger, which may be more gentle on delicate sweaters and heavy coats. I like 'Shoulder_Light' for sweaters, and 'Shoulder_Wide' for heavy or extra delicate garments. I've also included 'Shoulder_WideOld' which has the most broad radius, though clothing can sometimes get caught on the ends while releasing, hence the updated Wide version. Print two A and B parts per hanger
To assemble, first slip the Lock onto the Hanger, then connect the arms using a Pin. Optionally add the shoulder parts afterwards.
