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).

     The solution was to design a small wedge piece in Fusion 360 that would fill the space between the two attachment points (Photo 1).

    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.

    The cutout piece is so that it can be removed  if it gets pushed down too far, just in case. The final print made me realize one of my printers needs to be calibrated as its got pretty substantial ghosting, but this this will work since it's a functional print.  I printed two, one for each side of the headboard.

The final part slipped in perfectly and completely eliminated the slop from the headboard. Short, but successful project!
