Clamp hooks for a 15.5mm (5/8") diameter rail

thingiverse

We have an Ikea wall mounted dish drainer. The wall mounting is a long rail from which the dish drainer hangs and a lot of left over rail and S shaped hooks so that cups, or strainers, etc can be suspended from the rail. I found the supplied hooks (S-shaped Stainless Steel) annoying as they were a very loose fit and easily moved out of position when casually hanging something from them. I wanted hooks that 'held their position' and didn't require so much concentration - or hand eye coordination. Hence these hooks. The slighter one requires only one M3 screw, but requires partial disassembly of the rail, the other does not require any disassembly but requires 2 M3 x 10mm long screws. (I use stainless steel button head cap screws.) The slighter one can only carry light articles. I recommend lighter than 250gms. There's no science behind this figure but I do know that this hook will not support a mug weighing 370gm long term. Looks fine to start with but the hook fails (where the handle of the mug rests) after approx one year. However it seems OK carrying a strainer which weights about 220gms. Hence the more rugged hook. Hopefully this will hold the mug 'forever'.

If the Ultimaker has been available I'd have made the sturdier hooks on in in PLA. How I Designed This Designed in Moment of Inspiration (MOI).
