Roof-Top Tent for Ikea Baby Crib

This is a roof-top tent for an Ikea STUVA baby crib.

I modified the clamp from the fantastic Monster Mouth Headphone Holder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1657541 by philbarranger), such that I could glue a 3-way rod connector (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:46095 by CaptnBlynd) to the top and mount everything together to form a roof-top for our baby crib.

For the entire frame you need to print 4 clamps, 4 screws and 6 connectors. I left the support material on four of the connectors and mirrored two of them, which made it easier to glue them to the clamps (I used a fair amount of 1h-epoxy glue). You could merge the connector with the clamp and print this in one go, which should make it a bit more robust. However, I wanted to experiment a bit with the lengths, so I left it separate.

The wooden rods for the frame are 15 mm in diameter and can usually be found in any home depot store. For our crib (Ikea STUVA) I needed three rods with about 125 cm length for the long edges and six 57 cm rods for the short edges. I am pretty sure that this can be adapted to almost any baby crib by varying the length of the rods and the size of the clamps. You also might have to slightly adjust the inner connector diameter, since they have a rather small tolerance (I wanted a tight fit).

You can put a blanket over the frame to make a simple tent. Obviously, it's cooler with a custom made fabric roof, but you need someone with sewing skills for this (big thanks to my mother-in-law for that!).
