Snappy Fruit Hook

I liked the Folding Under Kitchen Cabinet Fruit Hook (e.g., bananas) design by dmacnulty but I didn't have any of the assembly hardware: M3 bolt or M3 nut. So of course the best option is to spend hours on a remix—instead of just buying the hardware lol. 

I designed a parametric version in OnShape that I believe improves on it in several ways:

1. Hardware Free Assembly

• Pin is just a 20mm section of 1.75mm filament (instead of M3 bolt & 3M nut).
• Could also use a wooden round toothpick
   

2. Snap-To-Hide Latch Feature

• Base has a friction based latch to hide hook when it is not in use.
• Satisfying ku-thunk sound.
   

3. Optimization Hook Shape

• Weight distribution is positioned directly underneath hinge to reduce stress.
• Octagonal cross-section (instead of circular) for improve print quality.

Print Settings

Assembly

Once both the hook and base are printed, cut a 25mm (or longer) section of 1.75mm layout the 3 parts on a flat surface.

Next take the filament and insert it through the base and hook. 

Depending on your printing tolerance the fit might be very snug. If you have issues, take a 1mm drill bit and clean out the hole.

Attaching

You can use a strong double sided tape or two small #4 wood screws.
