Fold-out Hooks for WallMatePlate

After creating the fold-out hooks for my ClampDock system, I realized this would be a good addition to the WallPlateMate system as well. So here it is…

It makes a really convenient accessory for hanging a wide range of things that you might otherwise not have a home for.

Each of the “hooks” flips in for storage and out for use. The larger hooks is suitable for garments, leashes, dog collars, umbrellas, etcetera. The smaller hook is ideal for keys. There is also a slide-out loop designed for hanging sunglasses or other eyewear.

The accessory snaps onto any of the WallPlateMate mounts.

Print Settings

Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.2mm layer height. For best results, I suggest the following:

  • Material = PLA / PETG
  • Nozzle = 0.4mm
  • Layer Height = 0.2mm
  • Line Width = 0.4mm
  • Wall Count = 4 (1.6mm)
  • Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5
  • Detect Thin Walls = ON
  • Wall Generator = Arachne
  • Infill = 40% (Cubic)
  • Support = Do not add, all required support is incorporated into the design.
  • Print orientation = As per the STL/3MF files and the included image

Assembly Notes

There are two pieces of support that need to be removed post-printing. Once they are removed, you can snap the parts together as illustrated.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
