`tslot-endcap.hs`

I’ve got a bunch of 2020 t-slot bolted to the back of my monitors, which I use to mount stuff to.

I wanted a way to terminate these, while also giving me a place to hang stuff off it, so I designed this hook.

I printed it in two halves, to avoid printing overhangs. The nice thing about printing split parts to fit on t-slot, was that I found fitting each half to the t-slot before gluing them worked really well to align them.
