Shower Mat Hangers

A new Gorilla Grip shower mat defeated the spring-loaded clip its predecessor dangled on between showers, so I applied a contour gauge to the shower stall, copied the shapes to paper, scanned them, then fit some curves:

Combine the two to get a model of the shelf, subtract it from a rectangle, and produce a cardboard test piece:

Put a hook on the bottom, a small bump on the top, and round the corners:

Function-test a cardboard pair:

They clear the hump along the edge and fit snugly across the front and sloping underside, so make an MVP from 6 mm acrylic:

Laser-cut acrylic may be too brittle for the job, but it gets the mat off the floor for drying and we’ll see how this works before doing anything more complex.
