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 standing → allowing 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
