Hills Hoist Rotary Hoist Clip

thingiverse

After many years of reliable service, my trusty rotary clothesline finally gave out on me, its folding retention clip snapping under the strain. I decided to model it in Blender, a powerful open-source 3D creation tool that's available for free on Steam. The part number listed by Hills is FD902442, specifically designed for the LATCH FOLDING ROTARY CLOTHESLINE RANGE. To get my clothesline working smoothly again, I gave the catch face a gentle filing - just enough to get it moving freely without any resistance. Blender proved to be an excellent tool for the job, allowing me to create a precise replica of the part with ease. The slight bend that I added is crucial in helping the catch slide into position properly.
