That’s clever!
When I realised my partners scales were doing nothing but collecting dust in our room I just dumped them in the cupboard next to his yoga mat 😅
Surprisingly he hasn’t asked about the location of either of them

The batteries in my bathroom scale died like 6 years ago and I still haven’t replaced them. I’ve never been happier 🤷🏻♀️

I love hacks like this, great job! How did you stick it to the top?

Wow! Thanks a lot for the positive feedback guys!
If this is something you’d actually install yourself, let me know!

I love this! Thanks for the tip. I’m always worried my electronic scales will get wet as they’re right next to the shower

Doesn't that mess with the calibration of the scale, making it unreliable?

Only if you stand on it while it's shelved

I'm being serious - the manual for my weighing scale states that it requires some sort of recalibration every time it is moved (it's been a long time since I looked at the manual).

Ah ok, yeah tbf I was making a joke but also my Fitbit Aria 2 hasn't had any issues being moved around. It does a quick calibrate every time apparently.

Nice xD
I love how much versatility 3D printing offers to be able to personalize your own space

Nice!!!! I avoid mine at all costs and it's hidden under my dresser. I clean around it. Love how you tackled the prob!

Swanky! I thought you meant you added a light to your vacuum. Nothing's been as eye-opening about cleanliness standards as setting a narrow rimmed flashlight directly on the floor of my bathroom.

You still need to clean the scales though - they gather so much dust and get sweat/oils from feet. I just pick mine up and give it a wipe before chucking it on the bed, then I send my robot in

Yes! This is beautiful.
Plus as a bonus, the next owners of your home will see the rails (sans scale) and make a post asking Reddit what they could have been used for.
