Description

My Mother wanted to install holiday lights this year and needed some new wire hooks to install around the eaves of the balcony. I designed these for her in solidworks and printed them in ASA to ensure weather stability.

Love You Mom ♥

Tips

There are two versions, one with a screw installed from the front and one with both sides. The front facing screw is a bit sturdier but the back facing one is easier to install in tight places or at angles.

Print in a UV resistant plastic to be sure that they last. ASA, [Colorfabb](https://www.amazon.com/colorFabb-90-285-113-Filament-Diameter-Black/dp/B01I4VZXNK?dchild=1&keywords=colorFabb&qid=1618263217&sr=8-3&linkCode=ll1&tag=thingiverse09-20&linkId=1ee3dc99cc4c4e6ea97eb2d25ece1b71&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) HT, Natureworks 870 etc.

The hole for the screw shank is 4.5mm and is shaped for a countersink type head. The screw is driven at a 45d angle.

Drill a pilot hole approx 2.5mm before installing the screw, it will make your job a lot easier.
