I'm porting my design over from Thingiverse. You can see some makes there: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5146923/makes

Most of this is easy to print. A few tips:

  • Legs can be laid down on their side, with a tree support for the "nub" on the end
  • Print the elevator standing up with tree supports
  • I tried the "tube" in vase mode, but it kept adding a bottom. So I did 0% infill with 2 layer walls, no top and bottom.
  • The "crank" is printed standing up with the gear on the bottom. Enable tree supports, but put a support blocker over the top section that has a 45 degree angle.

 

Assembly

Assembly should be pretty straight forward. Most things have nubs, otherwise use lots of super glue. Print two "crane caps" and glue them on the very top after inserting the crank into the crane.

Crane is operated by pushing the crank slightly so the gear disengages. You can turn it to wind up a string, moving the elevator up or down. To keep it at the top, push the gear back over to it engages again.
