Shaking Headboard

     We recently upgraded from a queen to a king sleep number bed. I couldn't find a bedframe that I liked  so we purchased a cheap and simple frame from wayfair as a temporary solution until something better came along.  Our old bed had a built in headboard and this one didn't so that needed to be bought as well.      After installation I found out that the hooks that kept it attached to the wall had quite a bit of slop in them making it noisy when you moved the pillow around at night (Video 1).  Video 1      The solution was to design a small wedge piece in Fusion 360 that would fill the space between the two attachment points (Photo 1). Photo 1: CAD Model      I printed with Hatchbox black PETG using 10 wall thicknesses so effectively 100% infill.  I printed on its side so that the layers would not catch when slipped between the metal pieces.  Printing two parts took about 45 mintues. Photo 2: Printed Part      The cutout piece is so that it can be removed  if it gets pushed
