Hang anything you want anywhere you want! Well, that's the idea. I wanted an organized way to hang my hats and it spiraled out of control from there.
Please comment if there are more hook types or sizes you would like, or remix and make it your own. If you print them out, post a make. I'd love to see your projects.
Use 3+ top layers and 3+ outlines for best performance. Lots of squish in the first layer will make the tolerances too tight.
Printed in PLA at 15% infill, the regular size hooks can easily hold a jacket. Increase to 20% infill and you'll be able to hang most household items.
To make the hat hook matrix, attach 40mm hooks using 140mm connectors horizontally and 250mm connectors vertically. Hang over a door with overdoor mounts.
The belt holder uses 30mm hooks and 50mm connectors. Hung on a ledge using Type C hooks - vertical top slot and angled bottom slots.
Understanding File Naming
There are lots of files included in this thing. Please read below to understand the naming scheme.
There are three types of parts - hooks, connectors, and mounts.
-Hooks are named modhooks- hooksize-connectortype-basesize-baseshape
Hook size is smallhook (thinner) or hook (my "normal" size)
Connector Type is A (horizontal and vertical slots), B (four corner diagonal slots), AB (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal slots), or C (top vertical slot and bottom corner diagonal slots)
Base Size is 30mm or 40mm
Base Shape is square, fillet, or chamfer
-Connectors are named modhooks-connectortype-connectorsize/length
Rods have connectors on two ends and have total length specified
9mm is the smallest length possible
Four side squares are 30mm or 40mm to connect 4 adjacent hooks at once
-Mounting methods are named modhooks-connectortype-connectorsize
I have three connector types - over door hanger, screw hole mount, and over ledge held in place with a nail
Connector Size is a dimension to indicate the maximum door thickness or what size hardware to use
