Mini Mechanical Capstan

This is for the Ropes, Cordage & Straps Gear flash contest. This design is a snap-together, fully operational, gravity operated, miniature mechanical capstan. It makes it possible to cinch (through ratcheting action) cords extremely tight, but more than that, it's just fun to play with.

I definitely recommend less infill on the base. In the demo video I actually ended up snapping the internal infill supports by creating too much tension. This was with 15% infill. The base specifically would probably be better off with 20% plus.

It's not necessary, but I also recommend using a 13/64ths drill bit to ream out the bore holes in the little gravity flappers. I definitely recommend watching the video to see how to assemble.
