Cubicle hook for ellipsed-top wall by jay408

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Late last year my small company moved into a new office. As part of it, we inherited the cubicle farm that was already there. I have no idea of the brand, but the tops were highly elliptical, rendering most of our existing top-mounted wall hooks useless. I searched Thingiverse for compatible designs, but I couldn't find anyone else using one with these particular dimensions. Fortunately, I had taken home a piece of the cube top shortly after move in and used it to design my own hook. Posting it here to share. Design is parameterized, though not sure how general it will be.
The top ellipse measures 42mm along the short axis and 86 mm across the long. These are designed to hook in opposite the coat hook and to snap in with gentle pressure. The hook top locks in and the small gap between the hook and the main coat hanger arm allows space to lay flush against the slightly protruding cubicle wall.
The hanger itself is beefy. I cannot say for sure how much weight it will hold, but I've loaded a couple of heavy winter coats on top of it without any deformation. The hook itself is long enough to hang a pair of headphones and the raised tip keeps them from sliding off easily. I've made several of these for my coworkers and they all think they are solid and a great improvement over the thin plastic hangers from our old office. One coworker has asked if I would use this design to make a white board marker hanger for him. I may try to remix this into that design in the future.
