We understand not everyone is in a position to buy one of our hangboards. That's why we've decided to release a fully 3D printable version for the community. We HIGHLY recommend printing the multicolour variant if you can - it's much cooler.
There's only ONE condition - you're welcome to print this out for personal use - but please don't sell them.
Specs:
- 20mm - 7.5mm edge radius - Balanced tilt geometry: not too slopey, not too incut
Important note:
Do not use any fiber reinforced filaments (like CF-Nylon or GF-PLA. The little microscopic fibers will stick into your skin and it's probably not good for you.

Depending on your intended use case and how strong you are influences how strong you need to make it. If you're just using it for warm ups and light strength work, then PLA with ~2.4mm of wall thickness and 35% grid infill should be plenty.
We make no gaurantees of the safe load limit, as this is dependent on your printer, material selection and print settings. Please be careful and use the device in controlled environments. Our test sample printed in Bambu Matte PLA with the settings below has been loaded to 95kg, but your mileage may vary.
Print Orientation - flat on the build plate as pictured.
Support ON - it's designed to minimise support but you'll still need to support the overhangs on the top hanger and in the isogrid.
2.4mm thick walls (4 walls for 0.6mm nozzle, 6 walls for 0.4mm nozzle)
35% infill with grid infill
1mm thick top and bottom layers
If you are using a filament that is prone to warping, a brim can be used
Do I really need to add sandpaper?
Sandpaper vs Fuzzy skin
The hangboard is perfectly fine straight from the printer. But if you really want to take it to the next level, we highly recommend adding some texture.
Sandpaper vs Fuzzy Skin
In our opinion, sandpaper is far superior. Fuzzy skin is difficult to apply nicely to the entire radius of the edge (as it changes from a vertical to horizontal surface). This can cause "hotspots" of friction and lead to discomfort and skin bunching. Fuzzy skin is a relatively deep texture, but not very sharp. Sandpaper on the other hand is what we consider Microtexture: very small protrusions that are sharp and bite into the skin.
Sandpaper selection:
You can find it at your local car store in individual sheets for as cheap as $2
Make sure to get wet/dry sandpaper - as it will be more resistant to sweat and dirt
We find the sandpapers made for paint tend to have a more consistent grain size - which feels nicer on the skin
We like ~120 grit paper - but feel free to choose a grit that feels good for you. Just remember that you should be pressing into it during training, not dry firing and sliding around on it
Like the hangboard?
Consider upgrading
The Edgemaster Pro has the exact same hanging geometry and edge radius in a more compact, durable package. It's easier to clean, the diamonds are more resistant to wearing down, and it's designed to last a lifetime.
