ARB Awning Hooks 19+ Forester

thingiverse

I fabricated bespoke 3D printed ARB awning brackets/hooks that perfectly fit our 19+ Foresters. The design is deployable, allowing it to unfold with ease. The four-foot awning neatly fits inside the vehicle. Upon arrival at your destination, you simply slide the feet into the aluminum grooves. The back hook is slightly taller, enabling a quick switch to mount it on either side of the car. To prevent damage, I added a layer of gorilla tape where the hook contacts the bar and single-sided foam tape where it touches the paint. A yellow illustration showcases a cross-section of the hooks. So far, I've utilized this setup four times in scorching hot conditions. For this project, I opted for PETG filament. To share my design with others, I'll be creating a Thingiverse page and posting it soon. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
