WORK IN PROGRESS
This project let's you build customizable Eye Sockets for various diameter rods. You could use these to secure a ladder from my LadderMaker project for example to something else. Anything round (plastic/metal/whatever) would fit as well. The Eye hole can be vertically straight or up to 45 degrees to one side. When rotating it to the side you will need to experiment with Eye Wall Thickness and the X/Z offset fields. I'd like it to be smarter about rotating so this is still a work in progress. Only does a round eye currently but you could notch it out with a razor to turn it into a hook instead or modify the STL file.
