Slide-On Hook for Heavy Duty Storage Racks - Gladiator, Husky, etc.

Garage Rack-Mounted Hook

Hey everyone! 

This is our first time uploading a make. We needed a hook that would hold a heavy duty electric charger on Gladiator storage racks

Note about shelving slot types: It may work for Husky brand shelf panels as well as other types, but I haven't tested them. You can measure the panel holes if you want to check before hand. The distance between holes vertically (top of the slot to top of the other slot) should be exactly 3 inches. The distance horizontally between a pair of slots is exactly ½ inch (just the metal between the two holes, not left side to left side or right side to right side). I've marked these measurements in the picture of the Gladiator shelf slots so you can compare.

How to attach it to your garage storage rack (ours is the Gladiator brand):

1. Press the mounting side over the slots in the rack's side panels and you'll feel it pop into the holes.
2. Slide it down and it should lock into place snug

It can be slid back up and moved whenever you want as well without damaging the rack or hook, and it doesn't need any screws or anything else to work.

Filament:

I used PLA+ because it's quick and strong, and your garage is connected to your house, so it won't ever achieve warping temperature for PLA+. However, this can easily be printed in PETG or a filled nylon. It won't warp when printed in either of these because only a very small portion touches the build plate, keeping it away from the temperature off the plate (this is what causes warping in filled nylons, for those of you interested).

Print Settings:

• Printed with stock Bambu settings for “eSun PLA+.”
• .4mm nozzle
• .2mm layer height
• 4 minimum, 6 walls for added strength
• 15-25% (15% is fine IMO, but may depend on your weight needs)
• Print upright, with auto tree supports “support critical regions only” & "on build plate only"   both checked (see picture of how supports should look)
• And an automatic brim 
  • I have a picture of how the supports/print model preview should look

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything. Hope it helps some of you as much as it helped us!
