Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

Hook to hang stuff from on the garage shelves from Bunnings or where ever These have lasted me over a year. Printed versions in PLA or PETG on X1C & Ender3 both are fine for hanging tools. Working on shelves with holes of about 12mm upper hole, 7mm lower hole and 1mm metal thickness.

What make a pinch at the base of the hook all around? It would only need a pinch along the both sides and not on the top/bottom. That would allow the hook to be stronger.

The official term is a fillet and it would help for strength

The filet is the curve added to the edge. The “pinch” is the cut made around the base. What I’m saying is you don’t need to cut all around the peg. You only need need two notches cut on each side of the peg (you can filet them is you feel like it) It would add strength to the peg on the load bearing axis while retaining the ability to latch into the hole of the rail.

oh I see what your saying. Yeah, that's a good idea.
