Description

Info + features:

  • parametric source file (so you can create any length with any amount of hooks that fit your printing plate)
  • it is on purpose NOT print-in-place, so anyone can have colored hooks
    • just pick a rack and print required number of hooks for it
  • it is printed standingallowing the front surface to be smooth 
  • invisible joint. Even when hook can be put on and off - from the front the joint is completly invisible, so it looks as in print-in-place solution

 

Print info:

  • see 3mf if you can
    • rack must be printed upside down!
  • PLA
  • no supports
  • no brim (at least for clean plate surface), but use brim for textured plate.
  • 0.2mm layers but recomending variable layer height for the hook (the higher the thinner layers, because hook is angled towards the top)
  • infill: recommending at least 10-15% gyroid 
    • with reinforcements especially around:
      • the joint (especially the part where hook is pressing up when wide opened)
      • the hole for attachment to the wall
    • consider higher % when planning to hang extra heavy objects

 

Parametric info:

  • source file is in Blender, open it, between objects, click “RACK” and open properties (or hit “N”)
  • params:
    • hole_width: width of the hole for a hook in cm
    • hook_count: number of hooks
    • space_end: distance from one side end to the nearest hook
    • space_middle: distance between hooks
    • vertical_gap: gap between hook hole and hook
    • y_thickness: thickness od the rack and hook (quite experimental, other than default value may work not that well)

I understand that not everybody is familiar with Blender, so if you were not able to modify params in Blender and export it to STL, just write me requirements.

 

Assembly:

  • click the hook inside from the behind, little force is needed
    • so it is positioned correctly in the joint and can rotate (it must be fully inside, see photos)
  • from the start it may be tough to move, but that is intentional, after a while of moving it should be easier

 

Load test:

  • hanged on it 5kg (on one hook) and it was looking good
