This is a generatively-designed light-duty hook designed to hang ballcaps with 18mm adjustment bands on a wall. I was inspired by NASA Goddard's Text-to-Spaceship and NASA Langley's Digital SAMARAI programs to experiment with generative design (topology optimization) at home, and decided to apply generative design to this application after failing to find much else I liked for hanging ballcaps, but weren't way overkill for the application. The 3-hook photo demonstrates the advantages of generative design: These generatively designed hooks use half the filament ( 0.72g) and prints 20% faster than the conventional design I developed first! The generative model was faster & easier to design, too. I successfully tested them as supporting 2.5lbs (1.13kg) of load, well in excess of the 2.5oz (70g) load I designed them for. So they really could be even smaller & lighter still. I found printing this hook on its back had the best performance, though it does have some hanging areas t
