Leifheit Linomatic easy tensioner

thingiverse

The locking nub of our old Leifheit Linomatic drying mill had given out a long time ago. We'd cobbled it together with a pin to keep it going, but you needed some serious strength just to fold it properly. With my new rotating and locking mechanism in place, it's ridiculously easy to fold/unfold and get the tension just right. There are different Linomatic models on the market, and the newer ones seem to have smaller nubs. Still, the overall idea of making tensioning a breeze is something that can be adapted for those newer models as well. The rotating part measures 51.5 mm from the inside out.
