Volumetric Tentacle Key Hook by schmarty

Of course you need a tentacle on your wall!  What else would hold your keys for you?  I mean, what do you have, hands?

We aren’t Cthulu-followers or anything, but we do find our intelligent, ocean-dwelling neighbors, the octopi (and other cephalopods) quite charming, so this derivative work by our own schmarty just seems like the perfect thing to have next to your door.

Print eight of them today!

Teennntacllles... coming out of the waaaaallll. amyhurst was asking for a key hook by our front door and decided upon a tentacled theme. guru's awesome volumetric tentacle seemed like a great choice, so I pulled it into OpenSCAD and made space for a 1" roofing nail to slide-and-lock into the back of the tentacle. (thanks to cibomahto for the tagline up top).

In the tradition of barrel of monkey's these guys are meant to link together en masse. They can form chains or even checkered sheets by connecting on all four corners. This thing was originally conceived and designed by MakerBot's own Matthew Griffin (http://thingiverse.com/mifga). Enjoy and please send comments, we're still working on it! Check out v16 for our latest and greatest version! the sc55 version is the version that they are printing at MakerBot lately....
