Abstract
Innovative and efficient design are some important aspects needed when creating engineering products. In addition, the ease of using the product is also an essential aspect of a product design. This paper aims to fabricate a quick-release hanging hook that operates on a pegboard. The pegboard is hanging horizontally in the ceiling. The hook is expected to install and remove easily from the pegboard^s bottom and carry about 7 kg mass. The hook is initially designed and simulated using Solidworks, printed using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing machine, and subsequently tested with a 7 kg hanging mass. The success of the designed hook is determined by the load capacity that can carry by the hook. If the hook can withstand the load, the design will be considered as successful. However, if the hook cannot withstand the load, the design will be considered a failure. The finite element simulation conducted in SolidWorks shows that the proposed hook design can hold the 7 kg mass with slight bending. The experimental result using the 7 kg mass in line with the SolidWorks simulation, which means the proposed hook design withstands the 7 kg hanging mass.
