The Claw
This a bag hook that I created since it seemed like all of the other hooks I could find online couldn't correctly support my backpack.
The top of the hook acts as a pivot point, and when you put a load on it the claw underneath is pushed into the underside of the surface gripping it.
This allows the hook to attach to a wider range of surfaces.
It's somewhat bulky, but other's who have printed this design have noted that down to 70% in the X-Y direction seems to help.
Printing Recommendations
Since this bag hook will most likely hold things that are important to you, you'll want to make sure it's as structuraly sound as can be.
The best thing you can do is to keep this printed in the horizontal direction, and to dramatically increase the perimeter count.
A stronger plastic like PETG will help but others have had success with PLA
Customization
I have included the Fusion 360 raw build file in here as well, just in case you want to go in and either try to modify the design or customize it in some way.
Generally I'll put the logo or text I want, cut it out of the model, and then switch filiments when that layer prints. This gives a nice multi-color effect that works for any printer.
