Description

A heavy duty headrest hook to keep your groceries, shopping bags, iPad, purse, and more secure in your car or automobile.

Features:

Heavy duty hook.
Rotating latch to avoid accidently knocking the hook from the headrest bar.

Instructions:

Print the headrest hook and latch.
Note there is a third model with no latch. If you prefer this model then you do not need to print the latch.
When inserting the latch, angle it flush to the hook and slide in the end with the hole first through the larger gap at the top section of the hook (see attached image).
Once inserted, rotate the latch back and forth several times to work out any stiffness.
Attach the hook to your vehicle's headrest bar and rotate the latch to close the hook.

Notes:

Shown as printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 30% gyroid infill, no brim or supports on a textured PEI plate.
This model has been tested with PLA, PETG, and ABS.
This product may also be known as a headrest hanger.

Love the design, but first print it detached from my A1 PEI plate. Turned on auto brim and has printed without issue.

Thank you for the rating and feedback! A trick I use on my Textured PEI plate when I need a bit more adhesion is to spray it with some Aqua Net hair spray (Extra Super Hold Unscented). I hope this helps!

Very clever how this goes together!

Could you save the models into one 3mf project? So it can be send to printer together.

Hi and thank you for the comment! I purposely didn't want to do that because this would cause some banding in the hook between the height of the latch and the rest of the hook height since the material is being layered slower until the latch is finished. However, it's easy to import a second model onto the same plate in Bambu Studio. Just use CTRL-i (CMD-i probably on Mac), or File > Import at the top left of the window. You can then use the "A" key to auto-arrange the models on the plate. I hope this helps!

Did not stick to the plate and got some fine Spaghetti instead. A brim would be useful!

Hi, thank you for the comment and sorry you had issues. I've printed many of these (10+ prototypes) on a textured PEI plate with no brim without issue. I also spray my plate with a bit of Aqua Net hairspray before each print. A brim on a textured plate is pretty difficult to remove cleanly and makes the edges ragged. On a plate with a smooth surface I don't mind using a brim because it's much easier to remove. Everyone has their own experiences and strategies for bed adhesion based on the plates and adhesives they prefer and that cannot always be accounted for within a print profile.

The kinetic energy of this hitting a small kid's head would kill them in a bad car accident. In a "light" accident, it might injure them and depending how it hits them, could cause blindness. Definitely a terrible idea if used with that tablet in that way.

Thank you for the insights. I agree that you should not dangle any items within the headspace of a child. This hook is meant to provide an additional place to secure items rather than having them sit loose within a vehicle.
