I don’t consider myself a cap collector, but I own a decent amount of them (13 to be precise). To better organize them, so I have quick access to all of them and also to leave them displayed in a visually pleasing way, I decided to hang them on a grid on the wall of my home office. But, instead of purchasing those wall hooks – which are super expensive, in my opinion – I decided to model and print my own hook/hanger.
Modeling
This video tutorial (Portugues only – at least for now) demonstrates how I modeled this object in TinkerCAD.
Also, if you want, you can access the hanger project directly in TinkerCAD:
Or, if you just want to 3D print the hanger and use it, it is available at the link below:

Final Thing and Usage
The final design is very simple and satisfying:
Despite the hole for using screws, the hangers in the pictures above were attached to the wall using double-sided tape. Drilling 13 holes in the wall and inserting dowels wasn’t really worth it, considering all the dirt that drilling into the wall generates and the fact that the caps are so light that using screws was completely overkill.
It is also worth mentioning that these hangers can be used for any purpose, as long as it is not too heavy.
