IKEA skadis customizable hooks

Similarly to my customizable shelf model, i had a difficult time finding strong customizable hooks for my skadis board so i decided to make my own.

The notable features of this model are:

• Easily adjust the size of the hook. By adjusting the Diameter of a hook you can easily get the right size hook for your use case.
• Choose between a square or a circle profile. Easily switch between the different hook profiles while keeping all other customizable properties.
• Adjust number of pegs on the hook. This was on of the driving features of this design, its difficult to find basic hooks that have multiple pegs, but i generally prefer more pegs for the horizontal stability it adds.
• Adjust width and thickness of the hook. In addition to increasing the number of pegs, you can easily increase strength by increasing the width and thickness of a hook. As you can see in one of the pictures i have tested a hook with 20kg although i would probably not recommend that in practice.

As always if you have any additional feature request, don't hesitate to reach out!

Additional Thoughts:

• I would recommend increasing the number of walls in your slicer if you are looking to maximize hook strength
• When printing a hook with a larger width you will need to use supports. I find when printing in PLA, auto tree supports with a .1 top_z distance works really well.

Explanation of Select Features:

• hook location: This parameter dictates where the hook is located vertically relative to the base. A hook at the top allows for more support and is therefore stronger. Below is a picture showing the different states.

  

• hook diameter: The main size of the hook, bellow is an example of a 25mm hook and a 50mm diameter

  

• hook lip height: This will override the default “lip” height on the hook, below is an example of a hook with default lip height vs 20mm

  

• hook thickness: Thickness of the main hook arm, below is an example of the difference between the default of 5 and 10mm. This should likely be increased alongside the base depth.
