Giant Screw Coat Hanger

In this Instructable, I am going to show you how to make a BIG screw head ready to be installed as a Pop style coat hanger

I started by getting a picture of a screw to use as a reference in order to get the proportions right. I used it to make a sketch of the screw head profile and made it into a solid with the revolve feature.

I then added the cross-shaped indentation to the front and applied some fillets.

Next, I made a hole on the bottom and made a thread in the inside, after which I removed the excess with a cut-extrude operation. I know it is not the way you would go about modelling a thread, but is the way that gave me the best results when I tried to print it.

To link the giant screw head with the actual screw for the installation I made a separate piece.

It started as a cylinder with a slight bezel to which I applied a thread.

After some slight height adjusments, I used cut-extrude to make a hole inthe center, followed by a cut revolve to make space for the screw head.

Now that the models are ready we get to print them in a nice 1:1 scale :). You can find the models in the following link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4868718.

I used black PETg with 20% infill and a 0,2 layer resolution.

Choose a spot to place the screw hanger and make a hole. Place the expansion plug in the hole, pass the screw through the coupler and screw it tightly into the wall.

Now you can screw in the screw head of your Giant Screw Hanger! (what a mouthful)

You can now use your giant screw head to hang your jacket. Or just leave it there to puzzle your visitors.
