pinchblock / -trainer for climbers / Griffzangen-/ Daumentrainer für Kletterer

thingiverse

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, all gyms in my area are currently shut down. Unfortunately, this also includes my bouldering gym. To avoid getting out of practice, I train at home. Pull-ups, hangboarding, etc., no problem, but I needed something to work on my pinch force. That's why I simply designed and printed out a pinch trainer. Simply thread a rope, hang the weight and that's it. For reasons of haptics (and for maximum grip: D) I printed the block out of Woodfill-PLA filament, but should also work with normal PLA / PETG. I printed the block with 5 perimeters and 30% infill to ensure maximum stability. (That might be a bit overkill, but I thought better too strong than too weak xD) Fusion 360 file is there in case someone wants to change something. --- During the coronavirus lockdown, all sports facilities in my neighborhood are currently closed.
