Glow in the Dark Guy Rope Tensioner

thingiverse

When we take the family on camping trips, I experience numerous problems with my kids, other kids, strangers, and even kangaroos accidentally bumping into our guy ropes. So, to solve this issue, I came up with an innovative solution and produced a batch of them using glow-in-the-dark plastic material. Now we can camp in the dark without any issues; our midnight adventures have become a thing of the past due to no more tripping over these obstacles and accidentally bringing down our tents. This innovative solution is printed in glow-in-the-dark PLA, a unique plastic that illuminates in low light conditions. To make this work correctly, I had to print it at a cooler temperature than usual (190 degrees Celsius instead of 210). The printing settings were 0.2 layers, three shells, and a 25 percent fill. The holes in the middle are decorative only and also help save plastic filament. This unique item was created with an online CAD design tool called Tinkercad.
