This model is supposed to be the Skadis analogue of angled pegboard L-hooks, like those sold by U-line:

Background

Most if not all of the hooks for Skadis I found online have a horizontal cantilever with a small vertical lip at the end.

I wanted to put a hand saw on a Skadis. Tools like those often come with a pre-drilled pegboard attachment hole, with a diameter somewhere between 5 and 7 mm.

Putting a saw like this on this type of hook wouldn't be great. The saw would slide forward and backward on the hook, because there's nothing keeping it at one point. To remove the saw, one would have to angle it a bunch to cross the vertical lip.

With an angled L-hook, you just need to pull the tool towards you and slightly lift it to remove it. It stays in place at one point on the hook (flush against the pegboard) via gravity.

Printing

The model will print without supports. One side of the hook cylinder is flattened - that side goes on the print bed:

I printed with 100% infill to make it have as much weight capacity as possible - given that effectively the tool is held by approximately a 6 mm thickness cylinder of PLA. (I used PLA.)

Notes

Having asked some AIs to compute an estimate on the weight capacity (I know I know don't @ me), I pretty consistently got something between 1 and 2 kg (assuming PLA).

The FreeCAD model is parametric. If you want the hook longer, shorter, thicker, thinner etc., you should be able to just edit the spreadsheet and be on your merry way. I uploaded a couple of variants for convenience. All of them have diameter 6mm at the base and 4.8mm at the tip (to make aiming the hole in the tool over the hook a bit easier). For hanging up my saw, I printed the L40mm-R15mm variant.
