Holdfast — Curtain Rod Wall Bracket

Holdfast is a single-piece wall bracket for a 28 mm curtain rod. A flat 60x60 mm plate carries a 100 mm arm that ends in an open-top half-round cradle, so the rod drops in from above. A small set screw hole through the front wall of the cradle lets the rod be locked in place once seated.

The cradle is sized at 28.5 mm inside diameter, giving a snug fit around a 28 mm rod without binding. The arm is kept compact and the cradle walls are thick enough to carry a set screw.

Features

• 60 x 60 x 5 mm wall plate with chamfered edges
• Four countersunk screw holes (4.5 mm) for flush mounting
• 100 mm arm projecting from the plate
• 28.5 mm half-round cradle, open on top for drop-in rod loading
• 4.2 mm set screw hole through the cradle, level with the rod centre

Print notes

• Tap the set screw hole by hand or use a self-tapping M4/M5 screw.
• Print with layers running along the length of the arm, since the arm is only 12 mm thick and works under leverage.
• Use PETG or a similarly tough material for load-bearing use.
