🪝 Curtain Rod Hook for Hanging Decorations — full size set for 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25/28 and 35 mm rods

🧩 Description / Design Concept

Set of universal S-style hooks designed mainly for curtain rods, but also useful as general-purpose hangers for light decorations and small objects anywhere at home.

Each hook is 10 mm thick, which makes scaling in the slicer very simple while keeping good print quality.

You get multiple variants matched to common curtain rod diameters (10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 30 and 35 mm). If you need a non-standard size, you can scale from the nearest nominal and still get a reliable shape.

Connection to the rod is a light “click” fit: the hook stays in place, but it’s not totally rigid. That makes it easy to add/remove decorations without tools, while still holding position during normal use.

🖨️ Printing orientation & tips

Print flat on the side, so the hook profile lies on the bed.

Use the included preconfigured .3mf:

Plates are labelled by rod diameter.

Open the plate with the size you need, pick the hook you like, delete the others (or copy one to a new plate), clone for multiple instances, slice and print.

No supports required in this orientation.

Adhesion: PEI smooth or textured sheet with glue stick or another adhesion aid recommended.

🛠️ Recommended settings

Default, stronger hooks:

Walls / perimeters: 4

Infill: 15% Gyroid

Layer height: 0.20 mm

Top/Bottom: 4–5 layers

Perimeter engine: Arachne (variable line width) recommended

Fast-print option (less durable):

Walls / perimeters: 2

Infill: 5% Grid

Layer height: 0.20 mm

Top/Bottom: 3–4 layers

Perimeter engine: Arachne if available

Materials:

PETG or tougher materials recommended (ABS/ASA, tough PLA+ etc.).

PLA is not recommended – prints are more likely to crack even while hanging on the rod, and PLA will also degrade faster under UV/light, especially near windows or outdoors.

📝 Fit tuning

Hooks are modeled in nominal sizes for a click fit on the matching rod. You can fine-tune by uniform scaling:

Need a tighter, more rigid connection on the curtain rod → scale to 98–95%.

Need a looser, freely sliding connection → scale to 105–110%.

For small adjustments, you can also tweak Horizontal Expansion (XY Compensation) ±0.05–0.15 mm instead of larger global scaling.

🔧 Assembly & use

No assembly. After printing and cooling:

Unclip the chosen hook(s) from the plate if printed as a group.

Snap onto the curtain rod at the desired location – you should feel a light click.

Hang decorations, garlands, lightweight ornaments, small props, etc.

Beyond curtain rods, these hooks also work as universal hangers on thin tubes, wires, racks or lines, as long as the diameter and load are appropriate.
