v2: Status Update & Improvements (2024.02.24)

The original model worked amazing well and lasted for over 2 years. However it slowly started to warp & deform from the strain. I redesigned the model (with some engineering help) to increase the strength and avoid the hook warping. Link to updated OnShape Model

Changes

  • Fix Hook Warp: Added a support rib to the back
  • Fix Nut Warp: Adjusted hex nut placement
  • Improve Print: Chamfer edges instead fillet
  • Improve Print: No need for supports

v1: Original Model (2021.12.30)

This is a replacement part for the spare tire hook/hoist on a 2015-2019 Nissan Versa Note.

The bolt & hook assembly on my car rusted together and a replacement hook & bolt was $100+. I designed a parametric hook in OnShape, printed using PETG (for extra strength & durability) and picked up a ½ inch galvanized bolt and nut my local hardware store. Total cost was under $10.

I have been driving with it since September of 2021 and it is still working flawlessly.

I used  50% infill and 5 perimeters to increase the strength per the suggestion on Prusa Knowledge Base.
