Description

An in-line cleat which may be fitted either in the mid-span or at the end of a rope.  Suitable for 6-11mm diameter ropes (the photos show an offcut of tatty old 10mm rope - my good ropes are in the boat!).

This is my Version 2.  It differs from Version 1  https://www.printables.com/model/1413519-fender-rope-cleat-v1  only in the profile of the grip teeth.  Both work fine but this version is probably nearer to the commercial item.

[It is similar, though not identical, to a commercial item.  The printed part will not be equivalent in strength to their injection moulded nylon component.  I have however been using both versions of my printed design for hanging boat fenders for two seasons and am very happy with them.  If however you think you need the strength, reliability and reputation of the commercial item then safer to buy one.]

Google “Fender Cleat” to find how to use them.

I printed my set in PETG as a trial but expect to replace them with ASA ones when/if UV degradation becomes evident.  I used organic support “everywhere” - ref. photo.  These come away easily.
