Parametric Pirate Hook by SuperAmi
Pirate Hook by SuperAmi
Thingiverse citizen and MakerBot dad SuperAmi has shared what is sure to be a Halloween favorite – a parametric pirate hook! One of the most amusing things about this picture is that it really looks like SuperAmi’s son is running at top speed. In my family the refrain of “You’ll put your eye out!” has been passed down through generations. I can just picture this pirate tyke responding, “No I won’t! I’m wearing an eyepatch!”
This is a parametric pirate hook I made for my son's birthday party. It fits the paw of a 4-5 year old very well.
It consists of three prints, the cup for around the hand, the hook, and then the grip and joining piece. My son really likes it, although the hook is a little primitive.
I've included the SCAD. The cup file is parametric, and while not greatly laid out, it should be easy enough to scale up or down. Its also relatively tall, and could easily be shortened by a centimeter or two. The other files are not parametric, because I was in a hurry, but they should be easy enough to adjust.
