This rugged “DeWalt Wall-Mount Tool Hanger – Garage Edition” lets you park any DeWalt 18 V/20 V MAX XR or FlexVolt-base tool safely on the wall, van racking or inside a Qbrick/workshop cabinet. The hanger replicates the battery-foot geometry, so the tool slides in with a reassuring click and hangs vertically, keeping the trigger clear and the bit pointing down-and-away.

The model measures ≈ 60 × 91 × 60 mm (W × H × D) and encloses about 74 cm³ of plastic, translating to roughly 92 g of filament and ≈ 8 h print time at 0.2 mm layers on an Ender-3-class printer. Print it flat on the back face; no supports are needed. I recommend 0.2 mm layer height, 6 perimeters, ≥ 40 % gyroid infill (100 % if you expect constant heavy loads) and PETG, ABS or ASA for heat resistance in a sun-baked garage. PLA works indoors but may soften in summer.

Mounting is simple: two countersunk wood- or drywall-screws (⌀ 4–5 mm) through the reinforced slots secure the hanger; the captive screw heads sit flush, so batteries slide in unobstructed. Leave a little clearance behind the hanger to avoid scratching painted walls when docking the tool.

Print Setting Description

Orientation – Lay the back-plate flat on the bed so layers run front-to-back; this puts tensile strength where the tool hangs and keeps the docking slot crisp without supports.

Layer Height – 0.20 mm with a 0.4 mm nozzle strikes the best balance of detail and speed; bump down to 0.16 mm if you want a smoother logo face.

Walls / Perimeters – 6 outer walls (≈ 2.4 mm) plus 6 top & bottom layers produce a rock-solid shell that resists splitting when you yank a heavy drill off the rack.

Infill – Gyroid 40 % for everyday use; go 100 % if the hanger will live in a service van or you store 54 Wh FlexVolt bricks on the tool.

Supports – None required: every overhang is ≤ 45 °.

Material – PETG, ABS or ASA rated ≥ 80 °C so summer heat won’t creep; PLA is fine in climate-controlled shops.

Temps & Speed – PETG 240 °C/80 °C, ABS 255 °C/100 °C; 55 mm/s print speed with 0.3 mm retractions (direct-drive) or 4 mm (Bowden).

Adhesion – 5 mm brim or a light glue-stick coat prevents PETG-warp; disable part cooling for the first 3 layers, then 50 %.

These settings yield roughly 8 h print time and ~92 g filament on an Ender-3-class machine, delivering a rigid, trouble-free hanger that clicks onto any DeWalt 18 V/20 V/FlexVolt tool foot.
