Use this snowboard fixture to display your board in the vertical position, nearly flat against the wall, bindings out.
- Both screws mount into the same stud in the wall, spaced vertically, no drywall anchors.
- No measuring how far apart to hang two rubber stoppers, the width is adjustable and these Stoppers pivot to fit your boards edge angle.
Adjust the width then lock the arms down by inserting the Locking Plate between them and fastening it down with screws. The Locking Plate positively locks the arms into position, it's not a friction hold.
Is this overengineered? Maybe.
HARDWARE:
- (Five) #8-32 hex jam nuts (1/8" thick x 11/32 across flats https://www.mcmaster.com/90480A009/
- (Three) #8-32 Button Head Socket Cap Screws x 5/8" Long https://www.mcmaster.com/92949A196/
- (Two) #8-32 Button Head Socket Head Cap Screws x 1" Long https://www.mcmaster.com/92949A199/
- (Two) #10 Dry wall or wood panel screws, 2" Long (minimum), with 82° head. Https://www.mcmaster.com/90294A301/
Use stainless steel fasteners if you want to avoid corrosion from ice thawing, but I like the look of the Black Oxide steel fasteners because the heads blend in with the black print color.
HEX NUT POCKETS:
You have to press the nuts into the hex shaped pockets on the printed parts. If the hex nuts you use are 1/8" thick, and the width across flats is .337-.346, it will work just fine.
The heads of the button head screws sit below the surface so they will not contact your beautiful board graphic ... unless you're a dink and you fail to fully seat the screws or you use the wrong screws. Don't be a dink, do it right.
Mount your snowboard and post a photo so I can revel in the beauty of it too.

0.15 layer height.
I used a Prusa i3 MK3s, with Hatchbox PLA Filament, and gluestick on the heatbed.
Largest Part is 7.5" x 4" x 1"
I suggest printing the infill as follows:
- Slide Base and Gear, at least 40% infill, cubic pattern.
- Locking Plate, Stoppers, and Slide Arms - at least 60% infill, cubic pattern.
- Set Vertical shells to 3 at minimum
- Solid Horizontal layers 5 at top and bottom
- Set your seam position to be at the rear
No support or bridging needed if you print them in the orientation shown in the heated bed image.
I've printed this several times and mounted as many snowboards, it works excellent.
It certainly would increase the life of the hanger if you print the parts from something more durable than PLA. Don't mount PLA parts where it will be exposed to the elements outside (sun/rain/wind, etc). These parts were designed specifically for a snowboard, so the stresses it will experience are understood and within it's design strength. If you decide to use it for anything heavier than a typical snowboard, you're on your own.

Printed with PLA at 40% the support arms bend if the ambient gets above 30 C, Suggest using ABS or PETG (Im going to give them a go now) for the support arms, they work great! excellent design!
