I wanted to clean up my utensil drawer and decided to hang some up under the cabinets for quick access. I also didn't want to make something that was permanent because I'm at a rental property. So decided to get on Fusion 360 and model something up for my 3d printer.

I used metric in my dimensioning, so converted to that. Then sketched a square and extruded up a box.
Shell Out Box

Shelled out the box to a reasonable thickness, leaving the one side open to allow for easier 3d printing.
Round Edges

Use round tool to reduce the force concentration at corners

Sketch the hook and try to avoid stress concentrators like above with curved edges
Pattern to the Rest

Use pattern tool to create the hook spaced out how it works best
Print Off and Install

Print off and install, if it's a little loose like the right side of mine, add some felt pads, or stretch it out in the printing file. I also added a file with holes for screws
