Bat-light Hook

thingiverse

Click Bat-lights come with a hook to allow them to be hung vertically. But I needed one to hang horizontally from a pavilion ridge pole. The resulting hook can be used for hanging up any cylindrical object. This design allows you to adjust any of the parameters. The most interesting ones are * `diam`: the diameter of the large hook that fits over the bat-light. * `d`: the diameter (or width) of the pole to hang from * `clearance`: the distance from the top of the bat-light to the top of the ridge pole. * `w`: the width of the hook, measured along the bat-light. * `angle`: the size of the hook around the bat-light. If you change this too much, you won't be able to snap the hook on. You need two hooks. The build I did used `diam`=36mm and `w`=5mm for the hook at the lamp end, and `diam=35` `w`=6mm for the other end, and I used a 12mm `d`, 60mm `clearance`. I've saved these as STL files. You can adjust `h` downwards a bit --- I set it to 3 mm at one point, but the hook ended up a bit flimsy. I suggest printing with 1mm walls (5 lines at 0.2mm) and a geoide infill; you want the hook quite strong to be able to stand up in a wind.
