Mitten Dryer for Towel Radiators

Wet mittens on a radiator usually lie flat and are still damp in the morning. This hook holds them upright and open over a towel radiator: warm air rises into the mitten and dries the inside too. How to use it - Hook it over a horizontal tube of a towel radiator (heated towel rail). The stem rests against the tube, so the weight of a wet mitten keeps it in place.

- Slide the mitten or glove over the finger, cuff down.

- Print one per mitten: the 3MF "paire" files put two on one plate.

Sizes - Three versions for Ø 22, 25 and 28 mm tubes, the common towel radiator sizes. Measure your tube and pick the closest one (a calliper or a strip of paper around the tube: circumference ÷ 3.14).

- About 90 × 95 × 16 mm, 33 cm³. The finger is 16 × 16 mm and 85 mm long, fine for child and adult mittens and for most gloves.

- Not for flat panel radiators: they have no tube to hook on.

Print settings - PETG or ASA. A radiator runs at 60–70 °C and PLA softens and bends.

- Prints lying flat on its side, no supports, 0.2 mm layers, 4 perimeters, 25 % infill. The layers follow the load, so the hook is strong.

Safety - Do not cover a radiator's thermostat or block an electric towel rail's heating element. Check your radiator's maximum surface temperature for your filament.

- First prints are being tested. If the hook is loose or tight on your tube, tell me and I will add a size.

Sèche pour le lendemain matin. À imprimer en PETG ou ASA (le PLA ramollit sur un radiateur), à plat, sans supports. Un séchoir par moufle : les fichiers « paire » en mettent deux sur un plateau.
