Dirt Devil DS8 Turbo Container Hook for PLA

thingiverse

I put the "Dirt Devil VS8 Turbo Container Hook" by mockfrog to the test, and while it's a great product, I found that using my PLA material caused the hook to break just like the original. So, I took matters into my own hands and redesigned it in Freecad with a focus on matching the stiffness and strength of PLA. The result is a new design that should be more durable. Here's a brief rundown of the redesign process: v2: A reworked version of mockfrog's design aimed at preventing breakage, I tweaked the stiffness of the two arms to see what would work best. v3: In this iteration, I adjusted the overall shape to minimize material requirements and reduce the need for supports during printing.
