Parametric Pirate Hook
Description
It consists of three prints, the cup for around the hand, the hook, and then the grip and joining piece. My son really likes it, although the hook is a little primitive.
I've included the SCAD. The cup file is parametric, and while not greatly laid out, it should be easy enough to scale up or down. Its also relatively tall, and could easily be shortened by a centimeter or two. The other files are not parametric, because I was in a hurry, but they should be easy enough to adjust.

Although my dear mother made the little comment of 'why don't you just buy one at the dollar store', we all already know of the implications simple things like this bring to the 3D printing community. I can personally imagine every cheap plastic toy, dodad, prop, and misculanious organization tool in the dollar store to be a great start for 3D printing.
Anyway, this little prop is great, although you said it needs improvement I think this is very well designed considering the limitations of current 3D printing. Not to mention it's a simple costume prop, not an actual prosthetic. The only thing I'd ask you to consider doing is to find a way to a
ssemble the prop without the use of glue, like snaps maybe?
But yah, this is very well designed and constructed.
Also, tell your son to have a Swash-Buckling Halloween.
I see the real power in, the ability to customize designs to better meet your own desires. Change the color, change the size etc.
I still need to better adjust my printer before I can print accurately enough to get clips and the like working for me consistently, but thats definitely a long term goal for me.
