Cargo Net Bungee Cord Hook

thingiverse

This is a replacement hook for the cargo net in my dad's truck. I modeled this design from scratch based off of the original store-bought hooks, which kept breaking. This design is a near-perfect replication except for a few improvements. The hooks were made to allow a bungee cord to attach to the hook by sliding it through the eyelet and channel at the top of the hook and then pulling it up, cinching it with the gripping tines. All of these details are incorporated into this design. To prevent it from breaking like the other hooks, I thickened the overall width of the hook as well as the supporting structures. Additionally, I designed one model to include the clip that the original hook had as well as one that didn't. This design is still a Work-In-Progress, so I have not printed or tested these designs yet, but I plan on doing so in the near future, and I will compare their strength with the strength of one of the original hooks. I will make sure I post pictures and/or videos of the prints and tests. Make sure you click the "Watch" button to find out about any updates. Please leave any questions, comments, and concerns and I will try to answer them all. Also, feel free to print the files in the meantime. Any feedback will be very useful. Thanks! *UPDATE 1 - 4/1/18* Added photo of original hook, in case anyone was curious.
