Description

Highly inspired by innovating the outdoors and their dew claw system. Highly recommend checking out their items if you're looking for things to buy.
 

I designed this out of a desire to learn more about CAD and to try fixing my own problems in the woods. Its a pretty lightweight system overall.

This system is great because it doesn't harm any trees you are using, since some other systems require you to screw a metal peg into the tree.

 

v2 - Added a gear hook for a carabiner. Can be used in place of the regular hooks but with a clip/carabiner to ensure your equipment won't slip off the hook accidentally.


PRINT THESE IN PETG OR ASA

These items are meant to hold weight and be outdoors, picking a material that will work well in these scenarios is important. Additionally, consider using the .3mf file I have provided. Some parts have different infill settings and perimeter settings so please be aware of these things when printing.

I used 5/32 paracord for the rope that is used in the images, you can really use whatever you'd like as long as it is strong enough. 1/8" Amsteel has worked for me also. 

 

Knots

For the rope locker side I used a scaffold knot and for the rope weight end side, I use one double overhand stopper knot to put a stop on the end of the rope, and then on the long end of the rope I just tied an overhand knot as close as I can to the weight to prevent it from sliding around the entire system.
