Show HN: Designing a Quick-Drying Bath Towel Hook
- pedalpete 12y agoInteresting write up, and actually a problem I've been dealing with lately, but I have a few issues with how the OP went about the design. 1) straight from design to cad to getting samples built? Might have been better to hack together something at home. The prototypes could have been made from old orange juice containers and other random bits of plastic, cardboard, etc. etc. 2) Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the issue in my flat. The problem is not enough airflow to dry the towel, so I hang my towels out by the window, not in the bathroom.
- kaa2102 12y agoThank you. I did think about getting a rough prototype built but I decided to not reinvent the wheel: I used the shower rod for the initial concept test. The shower rod would be a great solution if the shower curtain did not need to be fully extended to prevent the growth of mold. I thought that airflow would be a key determinant in drying time. However, the Z Hook actually just spreads the towel out to maximize towel surface area contact with the air and enabling more uniform heat transfer during convection heating.
