Hey, 3D printing fans! If you’re like me, always tinkering in the garage or tweaking setups in the IT lab, you know the struggle of keeping things organized. That’s why I’m excited to share a gem I found on MakerWorld: the Kobalt Heavy Duty Utility Shelving Mounting Hook by printomancy. This 3D-printed hook is a game-changer for anyone with a Kobalt Bolted Steel Heavy Duty Shelving Unit (you can find it at Lowe’s).
Why This Hook Rocks
Designed specifically for the Kobalt 4-tier shelving unit (24-in D x 77-in W x 72-in H), this hook snaps onto the shelf corners to maximize your storage. Need to hang tools, cables, or even some quirky 3D-printed gadgets? This hook has you covered. It’s printed with a 0.2mm layer height, 2 walls, and 15% infill, making it sturdy yet quick to print (about 1.2–1.4 hours on printers like the Bambu Lab A1 or X1 Carbon). Users on MakerWorld give it a solid 5.0 rating, with comments praising its “perfect fit” and how it inspired them to get into 3D printing!
Perfect for My Maker Space
As someone who’s been sucked into 3D printing (thanks to my daughter’s dragon obsession!), I love projects that make my workspace more functional. This hook is ideal for hanging extension cords in the garage or organizing USB cables in my IT lab. It’s practical, easy to print, and fits right into my growing collection of 3D-printed tools. Plus, it’s a great example of how 3D printing can solve real-world problems with a quick download and a spool of PLA or PETG.
Get Printing!
You can grab the STL file and print profiles for free on MakerWorld. It’s compatible with a range of printers, from the A1 mini to the X1E, and the designer even welcomes ideas for other shelf-hanging accessories—perfect for us makers who love to customize! Whether you’re tidying up your garage or streamlining your desk, this hook is a must-try.
