i had a small scale (20mm) 3d design and print project that i was working on that snowballed into another thing.
3d printed block and tackle
not for any type of practical use, other than suspending a bicycle, or maybe an outside movie screen.
if the designs were to have actual potential, i would copy them in steel or aluminum, maybe even delrin
i used tinkercad to mock up the different designs and printed the results
the first design is a 4 piece double pulley design, printed @30% density in PLA
the cross pin is black PLA
the second design used 1/4 rod for the axles
the 3rd
design uses 1/4" bolts for the axles
i have plans to do a torture test to see the limits of both designs, to see if they are worthy of further development.
i'll post results as i destroy them!
as always, thanks for reading!
