Cam Lock Rope Gripper Mk2

I was messing around with my custom gripper gadget when I realized it could use some upgrades. The original design can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:878256, but my modified version makes it a lot easier to handle. Now the M4 nut is situated within the outer frame, which means it's less likely to get caught on anything. The holes have also been scaled down so that there's plenty of material left over for tapping M4 and M3 screws. Plus, the corners have been rounded off. For more information, check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:883563. Assembly Instructions: Tap the wheel firmly with an M4 screw and secure it with a locknut so that it rotates smoothly under gentle thumb pressure. Next, tap the guide into place with an M3 screw and assemble everything with screws.
