This is an adaptation of Richard Matthew's peg basket. I agree, it's an expensive build for something that you could buy cheaper at the 2 dollar shop but I wanted something that was small, space efficient and curvy. A little time on openSCAD and there you have it - the umbrella!

The other changes are that it has some drain holes and it's enclosed at the bottom to add some weight and stop insects nesting underneath.

See what hooks you have lying around the house and modify scad accordingly.

Also take my tip and print in ABS if it ends up going outside - it could end up like mine in the photos

Post-Printing =============

My top tip is to use a pigtail hook rather than a standard hook, as it helps not to fall off the line. The STL accommodates a 6mm pigtail hook diameter - but see what hook you have lying around the house and modify accordingly.

Be warned - pigtail hooks are more expensive than standard hooks (https://www.amazon.com/Pigtail-Swing-Hammock-Screw-Plated/dp/B007IWCBOQ)
