Ultrastrong M5Stick Lanyard Hook - 4 minute print

M5Stick Lanyard Hook Quick Story So, I had an idea - why not carry my M5Stick around like a little badge? So I hopped onto Onshape and got to work. 30 minutes of losing my sanity later - this was born. An extremely strong hook that mounts directly onto the M5Stick with minimal additional hardware required. Tests I really don't want your M5Stick to break, so that's why I decided to (quite destructively) test the strength of the hook. I've done spinning tests, pulling, twisting and even snapping. Every time, the hook won. You can safely use this hook, without worrying around it breaking. Actually, the metal clamp is the one that bent first! Assembly Instructions *Before you begin, make sure you have 2x M2x6 screws. You can either buy them, or borrow them from an old laptop. That's what I had on hand, but other sizes might work as well. Just make sure they're not longer than 6.5mm, or you might damage your M5Stick. If the holes on the hook are to small to fit the screws (either due to my error or printer errors), you can drill them out with a 2mm drill. * I used this type of screws: https://www.amazon.com/Deal4GO-10-Pack-Phillips-Replacement-2-5-inch/dp/B0CGR8CRRR 1. Prepare your M5Stick, screws, a fitting screwdriver and the hook itself. 2. Put the screws inside the holes on the hook. 3. If needed, cut a bit off the back sticker to fully expose the mounting holes. 4. Use the screwdriver to thread the screws into the threaded inserts on the M5Stick. It doesn't have to be tight, so be careful not to overtighten them. 5. Enjoy your hook! Issues If you're using a neck strap with a metal clamp, the metal might come in contact with the pins inside the Grove connector. I haven't had that happen, but be careful. Just in case, I made another version, with a divider. That one's untested, but it should be identical when it comes to strength. I think I actually made it even stronger! (But that's not an issue). The actual issue are the sketches in the step file. If you can clean them up, you're a magician.
