Description
Tired of picking up hook that felt along with picking up a towel ? ME TOO !
I've designed the hook to be extra thick and durable, I wanted this thing clip onto the heater and to last forever.
Obviously safer option would be PETG, but I've also printed some with PLA and I will test them in heating season (I never crank bathroom heater to max so i expect it will survive).
PETG fits perfectly while PLA has much tighter lock and clips very securely.
Print Settings
I've printed with 0.2mm layer height and temps for PETG (250 C) and PLA (215 C) to maximize strength.
If you have problems with bed adhesion then add a small brim.
Versions
I've included multiple thickness of the hooks, while 6mm is still very strong and very much capable of holding completely wet towel, but it likes to woble a bit to the sides. It is still viable option for those that want to use less filament.
My personal favorite thicknesses are 12mm and 14mm. Those hooks offer performance, used filament balance and looks.
