A big hook for holding relatively light items (like wrapping paper) against an interior 45° gable (aka attic) wall.

The inverted 45° wall found on some second floors and attics make it very difficult to efficiently use the space. I decided to make a hook specifically for this 'wasted' space that allowed me to store a pile of wrapping paper rolls against the wall. The usable depth is 20cm-ish, depending on what you're storing, and the interior angle is slightly less than 45° to keep things from rolling off the tip if your wall sags slightly like mine does.

The file is freely available in OnShape here for altering or remixing under the usual CC-BY-SA rules. I really struggled to get the parametric settings right, so just be careful with all the radii if you try to change the dimensions.

I printed these in Elegoo ASA Black with custom 'beefy' 0.28 settings cause that was already loaded into my printer, but after mounting, they seem sturdy enough that I probably could have gotten away with a normal .20 PLA print and they'd still work just fine. (Aside from, y'know, being utterly incapable of figuring out ASA supports that actually come off cleanly. x_x)
Honestly I think screwing into studs or using good drywall anchors is gonna make a much bigger difference than the print material and slicer configs.

I'm sure this is a very niche solution to an uncommon problem, but y'all are welcome to experiment if they might be useful to you! Happy printing!
