Shopping Bag Hook for 2018 Honda Fit

thingiverse

I was far from pleased with the 2016 Honda Fit bag hooks, and not just because they didn't fit my wife's 2018 model perfectly. My personal take is that designing them as attached pairs doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The part that connected them was flimsy and prone to breaking easily. It served no other purpose than to prevent the hooks from rotating on the headrest shaft, which wasn't even an issue. They also ensured that they only fit onto the right or left headrest, not the narrower center one, which made printing take longer. I also didn't want them to be as tall, since I prefer my headrests to be down and out of sight. So, I took the model, chopped off half of the passenger-side hook, mirrored it to make a complete unit, and then squashed it vertically by 50%. This flattened the hook too much, so I grafted the original hook onto it. I managed all this using my extremely amateurish copy/paste skills, so when you look at the model, it's far from perfect. Sorry about that. However, it does print nicely. The result is that these bag hooks fit the shafts perfectly - they slide in easily so the headrest can move up and down, and the hooks won't get stuck in place. But there's no extra play in the fit, which means they don't rattle around. Provided you're reasonably sane about what you hang on them (not bricks or gallons of milk, etc.), they should hold up quite well to normal use. All credit goes to the original designer - I just hacked it up and glued it together digitally.
