Wanted to use the space below my garage door rails to hang misc wires, oscilloscope probes, Bowden tubes…whatever. These work! So far only printed in CF PETG. Under really heavy load (like a 50 foot 3-prong extension cord), they sag, so I whipped up the “Heavy Duty” version, which I have not yet tested (wanted to get this out there before I left on a trip). It's possible that with a better (stiffer) choice of filament, the original would also hold the extension cord.
One cool thing you can do with this (and millions of other STLs) is scale the Z in your slicer so you can make the hook wider or narrower than the default. My photos show thin and wider versions, not the default width, which is about 12mm. However I found that just printing wider does not prevent the drooping, I assume because most of the weight is concentrated on the sides.
If you're curious, I show the scope probes spanning a wide distance because I didn't want them to have 180° bends, and it also keeps them from hanging too low and touching the workbench below.
These are pretty versatile little guys - I hope y'all have fun with them!
