Small wall hook

I needed a small hook to hold christmas lights up in my apartment. I can't nail into the walls, so I was thinking of using 3M "Command hooks" to hold up the wires, but it would have been expensive to get the 20 or so I needed.

So instead I modeled a small hook, printed two dozen, and with a little stick-tack hung the lights for pennies on the dollar.

Two versions provided - one with a small inward facing point to better grab onto whatever is hanging. But they will work similarly for most applications, the difference is minor.

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.3mm

Infill:

30%

Notes:

Printed at low resolution for short printing time, since the hook is small and mostly hidden. Supports are required - I use Cura's line supports at 20% fill, which is removed easily with an X-acto-type knife. Since supports are on the inner part of the hook, any scarring is invisible.
