Kitchen Bump-bar Mount

A restaurant kitchen's essential equipment, bump-bars are used to control screens and view stats. They typically mount on work surfaces or platforms with zip ties. However, in my kitchen, a convenient location was lacking; thus, I affixed a plastic hook to a toaster's side weekly. Unfortunately, this often broke or wore through, causing the costly bump-bar to drop or hang precariously. As a Mechanical Engineering student, I saw an opportunity to improve my CAD skills by creating a 3D-printed solution. After tracing and measuring the toaster's vents, I designed sturdy hooks that could be easily removed for cleaning. The benefits of this design include its adaptability for various locations and the ability for others to create their own using the provided STP file.
