A garage bracket that holds the extension cord and the hose, uploaded October 3

A free CC BY garage bracket uploaded October 3 that puts an extension cord or a garden hose on the wall with three screws, priced against the $6.99 resin and $17.19 steel hangers it sits beside.

Garage wall storage sells at two prices. Suncast's moulded Hose Hangout, rated for 150 ft of hose, lists online at $6.99 from Ellington Agway. 1 Liberty Garden's steel wall-mount hose hanger sells at Zoro for $17.19, holds 125 ft, and measures 10 in. across. 2 Both figures were read on October 10, 2026. Suncast publishes the resin hanger at 13 in. wide, 6.5 in. deep and 10.75 in. high. 3
Wall-Mounted Extension Cord & Hose Bracket by Hyperfixation 3d is the printed version of that product. The designer uploaded it to Printables on October 3, 2026, and in its first week the listing has 154 likes, 351 downloads and one published make. 4
The licence is the first thing a seller wants from a listing like this. This one carries Creative Commons Attribution, which permits selling printed copies, and I come back to the exact terms at the end.

What you get

One printed part. A flat back plate carries three screw holes, and an arch rises from it over a curved cradle. You coil the cord around the arch and it rests in the cradle, which the designer describes as spreading the weight so the coil keeps its shape instead of kinking. 4
The designer's three-quarter CAD view of the bracket: a flat back plate, an arch standing out from it and a curved cradle below the arch
The designer's own three-quarter view, showing the back plate, the arch that carries the coil and the cradle under it. The listing publishes no photograph of a printed copy. 4
The back of the bracket, a flat plate with three screw holes and a small moulded mark
The mounting face as the designer drew it: three holes for Ø4 mm screws, the size the listing specifies. 4
The parts a seller buys are three Ø4 mm screws, and nothing else. The designer's images are CAD views of the geometry plus a product render, which is the honest limit of what the listing shows before you print one.

Download path

Open the listing on Printables, where the four files sit behind the site's own download flow. 5 There is no separate direct file address on the page to link instead, so the model page is the address to keep. Open it before slicing anything, because the designer's notes live there rather than in a file.

Print settings for the first sample

The designer published two instructions with the model: it prints without supports, and it mounts with three Ø4 mm screws. Everything else in this table is an editorial starting point, and the first sample is where each row gets confirmed.
SettingStarting pointWhat it decides here
SupportsNone (designer)The design is built to print unsupported, which is the difference between a one-part product and one that needs cleanup. 4
OrientationBack plate flat on the bed (editorial)This is the orientation that puts the no-support claim to work; check the arch's underside on the first sample.
Layer height0.20 mm (editorial)A functional part with no fine detail to protect, so the taller layer buys speed.
Perimeters4 to 5 walls (editorial)The arch and the cradle carry the coiled cord, and wall count is where that strength comes from.
Infill25 to 35 %, gyroid (editorial)Enough to keep the plate flat under load without spending filament on a wall bracket.
MaterialPETG (editorial)Garages swing in temperature and stay damp; PETG resists water and humidity and holds up below 80 °C. 6
Nozzle0.4 mm (editorial)Matches the layer height and the walls without slowing the print down.
Mounting3 × Ø4 mm screws (designer)The listing names the screw size but publishes no weight rating for the bracket. 4

Time, difficulty, and filament

The listing publishes no overall dimensions and no print time. From the CAD views, a full set runs about 4 to 6 hours of machine time at 0.20 mm in roughly 80 to 120 g of filament, which puts material at about $2 to $3 in PETG at today's spool prices. Treat both numbers as editorial estimates.
Difficulty is beginner. One part, no supports, no glue, no moving joint. The work that decides the product is the wall fixing, and that happens after the printer stops.
Colour is a merchandising decision rather than a technical one, and it is worth making once. Garage organizers photograph well in a single dark tone, which is what the designer's product render uses; a saturated colour gives the product a look of its own on a listing page where every competitor is black steel or taupe resin. Keep one colour across a batch so the photos stay consistent, and keep the material the same, because a PETG part and a PLA part of the same shape will not look alike on a second order.

The part that decides whether it sells

The load path is short and it has an unknown in it. The cord's weight hangs on the arch, the arch hands it to the back plate, and the plate hands it to three screws. The designer sizes the screws and says nothing about how much the bracket holds, so that number belongs to a seller's own test rather than to the listing.
Run the test before you list anything. Print one, fix it to the wall the way you intend to tell buyers to fix it, hang your heaviest coiled cord on it, and leave it for a week. Then take the cord off and look at three things: whether the arch has bowed, whether the plate has pulled away from the wall at the screw heads, and whether the cradle has taken a permanent set. Repeat it on a stud and on a hollow-wall anchor, because those two answers differ and only one of them belongs in your listing's fine print.

Where the sales angle works

The buyer is a homeowner with a garage, a shed or a trailer, and the object answers a complaint they already have: a cord that lives on the floor. That crowd shops for storage hooks by the pair, so this is a good bundle item rather than a single-piece sale.
Demand in the niche is measurable on the same platform. VC Design's Extension Cord Holder, posted September 13, 2026, has 1,042 likes, 4,071 downloads and nine published makes. 7 That listing sits under the site's Standard Digital File licence, which Prusa describes as allowing "personal use of the model and its physical prints". 8 A seller cannot build a business on that file. This week's pick does the same job under a licence that permits selling the copies, and a week of clean traction says the job is worth selling.
Pricing follows from the shelf. $6.99 buys the moulded resin hanger and $17.19 buys the steel one. 12 A printed bracket at $14 to $22 lands between them for a buyer who wants a specific colour and a solid form rather than sheet steel. At $18 with about $2.50 of PETG and three screws in the part, most of the price survives as gross margin before your own handling time. That band is an editorial estimate.
Gifting gives the same object a second season. A wall bracket is a small, useful thing to hand someone who has just moved house, and a printed one photographs better than a galvanised hook.

License and commercial rights

The listing carries CC BY 4.0. The deed grants the freedom to "Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially" and to "Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material", and it adds that "the licensor cannot revoke these freedoms". 9 Printing copies and selling them sits inside that grant.
One condition travels with it: "You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made." 9 Put the designer's name, the model name and a link to the model page on your product page or in your packaging insert, and say there if you scaled or recoloured the part. Attribution costs a line of text and is the whole fee.
Two limits stay outside the licence. It leaves "other rights such as publicity, privacy, or moral rights" untouched, and it asks that users "not imply endorsement by the author". 9 Naming Hyperfixation 3d as the designer is credit; describing the product as official or endorsed is a claim the licence does not give you.

Verdict

Prototype this one if you sell garage or home-organization products and want a functional part with a clean commercial licence. The print is simple, the only bought component is three screws, and demand for the object is demonstrated by a comparable listing with 4,000 downloads.
Then settle the fixing before you list a unit. Print one, hang your heaviest cord on it for a week, check the arch and the screw heads, and decide whether your listing offers a stud fixing, an anchor, or both. The print is the easy half of this pick; the wall is the half that decides whether the bracket becomes a product.
