The Kitchen Towel Hook

I had tried a few other kitchen hook models but none of them worked particularly well for me - they were loose on the door and slid around, and the towels didn't reliably stay on them. I set out to make a hook that worked better for me, and this is the result.

A few design notes:

• The curled design makes towel insertion easy and holds onto the towel securely if you want to use it in-place to clean/dry hands, but allows the towel to release easily when you want to remove it for other tasks.

• The back is intentionally angled inwards towards the door to provide some spring resistance.

• I've found that these hooks are pretty good at staying in place as-is, but for added sliding resistance there is a recess to attach an optional TPU grip pad (file included here). Attach it with glue - the glue goes on the hatched side, the ribbed side is what grips the door and resists side-to-side motion.

This works fine printed in PLA. PETG might be more durable under long-term use with the flexing of the hook over time. TPU for the optional grip pad.

I've provided hook files for a range of door thicknesses from 10-30mm. If you need a different size reach out to me, I'd be happy to upload a different size.
