Description
Living in an area with frequent winds (and while my previous hook designs were well-received) I realized I needed a version with significantly more mass and a deeper profile to keep shovels, rakes, and heavy brooms pinned safely against the wall during a storm. The geometry of this hook is specifically engineered for stability. The deep U-shape ensures that the tool handle sits low and centered, making it much harder for wind or accidental bumps to dislodge it. Additionally, the side walls extend downward to create a guiding channel that restricts lateral movement, preventing the tool shaft from swaying back and forth too much. Regarding the print settings, the provided .3mf file is configured with a relatively low infill, I highly recommend increasing the infill density based on your specific needs. For the version shown in my photos, I used 30% infill.
