This Extra Slow Rising Sloth Hook Is The Most Hilarious Way To Hang a Coat or Bag

Going out and coming home is exhausting, no matter where you’re headed. For that reason, it’s important to fill your life with cute companions, knick-knacks and other things to make you smile, with one adorable option being the classic sloth — slow-moving, like we all wish we could be, yet endlessly content and always offering a smiling face.

When it comes to adorable household decorations, this slow pop-up sloth hook is hard to beat, coming from an easy-to-follow instruction guide and video for 3D printing on Thingiverse. After a long day of sleeping while you’re at work, this sloth’s arm awaits your bag, keys, or other items to hold for you before popping up to say hello.

The three basic components of this slow pop-up sloth hook are the aesthetic compartment and sloth face, the internal pop-up mechanism, and the hook itself — the latter of which is converted into the sloth’s arm, and triggers the pop-up reaction from the sloth.

Once it’s built and in use, the sloth hides away when the hook hangs empty. As soon as you set a purse, bag or another object heavy enough to weigh the hook down, the sloth slowly pops up from the inside compartment, revealing an adorable smile for you to enjoy until you leave next or need your bag.

This slow pop-up sloth hook can be built yourself if you have a 3D printer, and the included video makes it fairly easy to build — even for beginners.

Designed after the creator’s previous pop-up monkey hook, the pop-up sloth hook is fitting for how slowly and subtly the sloth pops up, and the creator explains how and why it’s designed the way it is when building it.

All you’ll need to build the slow pop-up sloth hook is the ability to 3D print a few materials, or access to someone who does and can make the plastic components. Other materials used include silly putty or other non-hardening putties to fill the mechanism’s side cavity, a few tools for trimming the mechanism, and other optional upgrades from a rubber band and some pennies.

One person in the comments section called the design the “Best pop-up hook I’ve seen by far,” even giving it a “10/10” rating. Another commenter also noted some edits they made to their own design, as suggested in the creator’s original summary of the product — the sloth’s pop-up speed can simply be edited by trimming some of the slots in the design, as one example.

The slow pop-up sloth hook may be a little challenging for some 3D printing beginners, though other commenters mention taking a few tries to nail the design. You can also find a handful of variations on the design in the “Make” section, including compartment colors in pink and blue and not-yet-painted sloth faces.
