Stylish Hook or Knob in Three Versions

I designed this stylish hook for a wardrobe. It features three exchangeable front pieces. The design consists of three parts. Two of them are glued together and allow easy montage and maintenance.

How to Print the Knob

I prepared example projects for PrusaSlicer:

• LR2248C-800 Example Print.3mf
  This project demonstrates a PLA print for a single hook consisting of three parts.
• LR2248C-800 PETG Example Print.3mf
  The same print but for PETG filament. It demonstrates where to place supports to get a great result.
• LR2248C-800 All Variant Print.3mf
  This project demonstrates the correct settings for all parts. It is meant you delete the parts you do not need or as a print to test all variants of the hook.

If you like to slice the models from scratch, please have a look at the table below:

Dimensions

There is a PDF version of the drawing above in the file section. The drawing shows the three front piece variants, their dimensions, and the two parts for the two different screw directions.

Choose the Screw Direction

There are two similar parts:

LR2248C-811 – Screw head in the hook.

Part 811 is made to put the screw head in the hook. It will work with M5 screws and 5mm, 5.5mm or even 6mm wood screws with a flat head. Also, 4mm furniture screws work well with the hole's geometry.

LR2248C-812 – Hex nut in the hook.

On the other hand, part 812 is made to put an M5 hex nut into the knob. The hole has a hex profile in the middle to keep the nut from spinning freely.

Choose the Front Piece

There are three front pieces:

LR2248C-821.3mf – Ring shape.
The ring shape has a rounded indentation that gives the hook a trumpet-like look. This geometry that consists only of layer steps creates wonderful effects with shiny filaments

LR2248C-822.3mf – Flat rounded.
The flat-rounded geometry provides a flat surface to engrave letters or symbols. If you use it in its flat form, I recommend using a matching fill geometry, like “Concentric” in PrusaSlicer, to continue the look from the rounded sides.

LR2248C-823.3mf – Fully rounded.
The fully rounded geometry gives the hook a nice tactile touch and a classic look.

Choose the Right Materials

I recommend using PETG or ASA if you expect a rough usage, but the hook is designed to print and work well with PLA.

If the hook is used on a wardrobe with heavy jackets and bags, I recommend printing it using PETG. PLA can permanently deform over time, so if printed with this material, make sure you do not overload it.

Assembly and Montage

In the first step, you have to remove the extra layer that covers the screw hole in part 811 or 812. Use a 5mm, 5.5mm or 6mm wood or metal drill for this task.

Next, glue the threaded ring part 831 into part 811/812. Use a strong glue, like epoxy glue or one that bonds well with the filament you used for the print.

Now, you can mount the knob to your drawer or door. Use the screw you selected to fasten part 811 or 812 to the element.

After fastening the part, you can screw the front on top. Use glue to lock the front permanently, but I recommend using something like candle wax to prevent the thread from loosening by itself.

Photos

The photos of the real prints were printed using an Original Prusa i3 MK3S+, using 3DJake magic filament.
