Dog Leash Routing Clamp

thingiverse

We've often had to restrain our dog inside using a retractable leash, only to have it knock over things on the table. The leash would stretch high enough to reach above the table, causing a mess with objects like the red vase shown earlier. To solve this issue, I created a solution that reroutes the leash downward from the staircase railing so it stays below the table. I designed this piece in OpenSCAD. It consists of a two-part clamp connected by two M3 35mm screws and an empty space for the leash to pass through. This space features a thin slanted slit at the front, making it easy to insert or remove the leash. A fillet is also added at the bottom to allow the leash to slide more smoothly. This solution seems very effective. Although it introduces some friction, our dog doesn't appear to struggle much with pulling on the leash. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: Printed in white eSun PLA. Initially printed at 80mm/s, but then increased to 120% (96mm/s) for faster completion. Print quality looks good despite the higher speed.
