This is a free and open source 3-part ski wax rack.They normally cost $125 - this one is $5 or less.
Why do you need one? See Steve Foreman’s excellent how-to video on ski waxing. It is all in OpenSCAD so you can adjust it to meet your ski's needs. It has two versions - a WonderWoman version to be printed with NinjaFlex guards or a Thor version that can be printed in 100% PLA or other hard thermopolymer.
For both versions you need a few inches of metal -which you can get from a clothes hanger -- everything else is PLA or your other favorite polymer. Can be printed on any FFF RepRap or similar.
Only the middle T needs support - all other parts can be printed without it.
See the pictures for how to put it together - To put the pieces together I used filament as rivets following the tutorial by Jason Welsh -- I actually found using an iron worked best.
This is built off a lot of other designs including:
- Johann Joe had made some pretty nice fully printable G clamps (you are using the long screw and his loose clamp protector)
- rounded edge cube library created by P. Towalski.
- The Wonder Woman design from a cookie cutter designed by g33kgirl.
- Vik Oliver's pretty nice Thor Hammer
