Perma Brand Hook Spacer for baby gate

thingiverse

I designed this spacer because the original spacers provided by Perma Child Safety is ugly as sin, requires stacking, and also only looks decent if the hook is installed on the longer side. I suspect that this design might work with other textile gates as well depending on the shape of the hook (they all seem similar but I didn't do any testing on it since I only need 1 textile baby gate) This spacer is for when you install the hooks perpendicular to the wall. You should be able to extrude/cut/angle the edges as needed to fit your requirement. I have provided pictures of the top part which is flat and the bottom part that has an angled cut to accomodate the baseboard (as you can see) the file provided is flat so you can modify as needed. Make sure you change out the screw to match the new height as well and if possible, don't forget to do what you can to attach the hook to a stud or use proper wall anchors due to the baby gate's pull force. I printed this on the Anycubic Photon S with Elegoo Water Washable Black resin with about 10% Siraya Tech Tenacious Resin to give it some flex. My Photon S also has the Wham Bam Flex plate which allowed me to print it flat on the plate. For FDM Printers, I would recommend about 50% infill because it could go through some stress as it holds the hook to the wall and also to give you room to screw it into the wall with a bit of room for overtightening.
