The only rope tensioner you will ever need 2 - electric boogaloo:

  • Now fully parametric! - most aspects are constrained, and i have narrowed down the parameters to only 5
  • 2 Designs with, or without pinching center
  • Removed teeth from V1 but kept the lip
  • REWORKED NAMING SCHEME; easier to understand
  • Smaller cutout so small rocks dont get trapped as easily (was a common issue for me)

 

Please print a tensioner where your rope just barely fits in the hole(s), otherwise the pinching from the smaller diameter section will not work as intended 

If your intentions are for long term use, set height scale of the tensioner by 130%-150%. An example of long term use is hammock hanging (8h+ under large load). For use cases such as this, please consider ABS or ASA - PLA might be too weak

Please use maximum amount of walls if strength is needed (to achieve a solid part without)

I have provided examples of settings i think would work well, but i do encourage editing the .f3d file to get the strength you desire

 

How to edit parameters:

  1. Download Fusion 360 for free
  2. open .f3d file
  3. press “s” this should open “design shortcuts”
  4. type in, and find “Change Parameters”
  5. double click expression and change the numbers - i tried to idiot-proof all my parameters, but just in case something breaks without a reasonable solution, leave a comment and ill help fix it ;)

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

remix of my own model - made it fully parametric and cleaned up the f3d file - added variant with smaller diameter in the middle hole
