This is a customizable, rounded S-hook with optional end-caps for hanging whatever you want, wherever you want it! # Uses * Hang a bird feeder on a bird feeder station * Hang clothes on a wardrobe/closet hanger rail * Hang kitchen utensils on a utensil rail * Hang Christmas stockings on a bedframe # Customizations It's possible to customize: * The top and bottom curve sizes and opening angles independently * Thickness * Length of the centre straight section * End cap style (ball or spike) and size * Smoothness of curves # How To Customize You can customize this on Thingiverse itself if the Customizer is working: just press the blue Customizer button to launch it. If the Customizer is not working you can customize it on your own computer: * [Download](http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html) and install [OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/). * Download the [`EMU-S-Hook.scad`](https://www.thingiverse.com/download:9258837) file from this page. * Launch OpenSCAD and *File* › *Open* the `EMU-S-Hook.scad` file. * Select *Design* › *Preview* (or press F5) to preview the design. * Scroll down to line 21 in the code to find the values you can change. * Tweak the values, and re-run the preview (F5) to see what effect it's had. * When you're happy with the design select *Design* › *Render* (F6). This may take a few seconds. (Don't worry about the weird colourings in the render.) * When you're happy, select *File* › *Export* › *Export as STL* (F7) to export your STL. This can then be sliced like normal in your favourite slicer. (It's as easy as F5, F6, F7) # Background I needed an S-hook to hang a new bird feeder I bought. I printed the [Ultimate S-Hook](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:48499) by mike_mattala and, whilst it worked a treat, I wasn't too keen on its squareness, so I wondered how easy it would be to create a rounded version. It turns out it wasn't that hard at all and I had what I needed thirty minutes later. But then curiosity got the better of me and I progressively made each part customizable. So now there's a new ultimate S-hook on the block, baby :) Enjoy.
