Cubical Coat Hook

thingiverse

There's an interesting tale unfolding here, but I'll keep it concise. A colleague at my new office pilfered the coat hook provided by my company, prompting me to take matters into my own hands - or rather, my 3D printer. I designed a replacement using calipers and a coworker's model as a blueprint. The result is a near-exact replica. I opted for PLA, but I suspect there are superior filaments suited for this task. My custom hook has proven to be a reliable support for my heavy winter coat, and coworkers have even taken to using multiple prints for their purses and bags. One noteworthy design choice: I oriented the print lines along the handle, ensuring that the model won't crack at a seam.
