Slatwall DeWALT 20V MAX Drill Hanger

Like the rest of the Slatwall models I am releasing with the ‘hookhybridslatwall’ tag, this hanger for a DeWALT 20V MAX Drill clicks together with a couple cheap 4-inch metal hooks to avoid having a printed plastic part in the key structural section of the part.

The specific hooks I ordered are here, but likely any 4-inch hooks with approx 4.0-4.3mm diameter rods should work here.

Joining the hooks to the part is simple (and the same operation for every part with the ‘hookhybridslatwall’ tag):

1. (optional) If you have a different brand of hooks with bad tolerances, consider adding some extra bend to the hook tip angle so it better matches the tip angle at the end of the channel halfpipes
2. Insert the hooks through the elongated holes at the back of the hanger with the hook tips pointing down
3. Push the hooks through the part until the hook plate is flush with the back of the hanger
4. Rotate the hooks about the rod axis until the hooks are pointing ‘up’, and the hook clicks into the halfpipe channel securely

I am using ‘Proslat’ brand slatwalls here (the cheapest PVC version), but any slatwall should work fine with the offbrand hooks regardless.

This part is least risky to print with the back facing downwards (as the model is uploaded), it should not require supports if your bridging is decent.
(Not a super heavy item, and a long baseline, so this print grain is OK)
 

You can bend the top of the cheap hook plates forward for a firmer hold on the slatwall (see image).
