Custom Pegboard Hook in Fusion 360 — Photo to 3D Print -Trying Again

Sorry about the last attempt. A pegboard hook that almost works is one of the most frustrating shop problems. It fits the pegboard… but not your actual tool. And buying a pack of 10 or hunting for an STL just isn’t worth it.

In this video, I quickly reverse-engineer an existing pegboard hook, tweak the design to actually fit my hammer, and 3D print a custom version—fast.

In this video, I’ll show you:
✅ How to bring a photo into Fusion 360 using the Canvas tool
✅ How to correctly flip, position, and calibrate a canvas
✅ A fast sketch-and-trace workflow for reverse engineering parts
✅ How to redesign a hook radius to fit a real tool (22 mm hammer)
✅ When not to use Thin Extrude—and why
✅ A rapid, iteration-first approach to custom 3D prints
✅ Sending the part straight to Bambu Studio for printing
