Pegs for a Wall Control Steel Peg Board
In my shop, instead of using the fiberboard pegboard (which is cheap both in terms of price and in terms of materials), I prefer to use Wall Control peg boards which are made from 20 gauge galvanized steel. I like the flexibility of using magnets to attach thing to the board, as well as the enhanced durability. But one disadvantage is that many of the traditional wire type hangers don't work very well: the pegboard itself is only 1mm thick, not 1/4" inch like the classic fiber board, and that makes it easy to knock them loose, and even when they don't, they often tilt downward.
Today, I wanted to hang some small tools (a ruler and a couple of Harbor Freight digital calipers) to my pegboard, and decided to try to design some very simple plastic clips that I could 3d print to do the job. I designed two hooks as a test (I may follow up with more examples later). They are designed to print flat on the bed without any supports, and the layer lines should be oriented to ensure maximum strength. I printed mine out of PETG, but I suspect any filament would be fine. These basic hooks aren't super large or heavy duty, but can still be useful, and I printed twelve of them in just a little over 40 minutes.
