4 No-Drill Curtain Hook for Rental Apartment

      
        In a rented apartment where drilling is not allowed, hanging curtains becomes a real challenge. After sticky hooks failed multiple times, I studied the wall structure and noticed a tight seam between the ceiling and the wall. I modeled a two-part hook in Fusion 360 that could securely lock into this seam — no screws, no adhesive, no damage.    

        The hook supports curtain weight via a load-distributed design and holds firmly using compression. It was printed with thick PLA walls and has held up perfectly ever since. This project demonstrates how close observation, 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping can solve everyday problems in clever, renter-friendly ways.  

3D Modeled in Fusion 360:



The top part hooked into the space between original curtain frame, and the second part locked into the first part by sliding in horizontally.
