Self-Locking Slatwall Peg

thingiverse

A simple, self-locking peg for slatwall. Stays well-secured both to pulling force and horizontal force. In standard chipboard-type slatwall it shouldn't require special fitting, based on my own experience. If it does, inform me and I'll find a solution. *To Install:* Insert into the slatwall horizontally (as it prints on the bed), and rotate 90 degrees clockwise (righty-tighty) to secure into place. *To Remove:* Grip flats firmly and rotate counter-clockwise (lefty-loosey). *Troubleshooting:* In some cases/with some slatwall it may require significant force to rotate into place. This should not cause damage to the peg or the slatwall unless it has a very soft finish. If the fit is too loose (uncommon, but not impossible) it is possible to "shim" the ears with thin plastic or cardstock. If any issues appear, feel free to comment/contact me. I have not yet tested the weight capacity, but a single peg can readily hold at least a few pounds/kg in my experience. I initially made this because I was unsatisfied with commercial offerings requiring screws or adhesives, or coming away with the tool/object being secured. I hope it can be useful to you.
