[Baby Mobile Hanger] How i custom designed a Baby Mobile Hanger for our bathroom


Today i will share something sligthly different from the usual, but this is still about making something !

My baby daugther needed a little entertainment in our bathroom while she is being dressed and changed. I needed to hang a Baby Mobile that my wife made directly above the mirror. The only way i could do so was with the mural lamp that is above the mirror.

First i took precise measurements of how the lamp is and the exact dimensions that my hanger would need to be in order to fit. Here are the initial drawings



Then i went to 123D Design and sketched the item. Kept it simple


My shop printed it for me, not without trouble, i had to redo the part and removed the little hook to that the piece could be printed verticaly and not horizontaly as shown above. I would then glue the small hook back with some epoxy. Here is the final result.


With some close shots of the detail, the hook is made to fit exactly to my bathroom lamp and the little reduction of diameter at the tip is to hang the mobile using a standard key ring !


And here the final result, my little girl loves it !
