IV Bag Hook

The IV Bag Hook is a 3D printed hook designed to hang IV (intravenous) bags. It provides a simple, load-bearing support point for IV bags where a standard hospital hook or stand fitting is unavailable.

The hook is 3D printed using ABS plastic filament.

Open the file using slicing software and prepare for 3D printing. Use the printing settings below (settings may need adjustment depending on the specific 3D printer brand and filament manufacturer used).

Usage Notes

Infill can be adjusted depending on the application (e.g. bag size and weight). Even a low infill percentage should provide more than sufficient strength while using less plastic than printing solid, for a given strength requirement.

Use the printing settings below (settings may need adjustment depending on the specific 3D printer brand and filament manufacturer used).

About the manuals

Field Ready develops manuals to support both the fabrication and safe use of its products. A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.
