**2018-10-27 Update** Received some valuable advice on a French forum, suggesting the use of kite string as wire for its superior rendering and strength. **2018-10-04 Update** Introduced small discs to encase the wire/cable that refuses to fit within the winch case. Hello! Presenting a compact RC winch designed for a N20 motor. To assemble this project, you'll need two components from other designers: The hook can be sourced from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14653 And the gears were generated and adapted from janssen86's OpenSCAD library: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3134342 This winch is suitable for 1/8 to 1/12 scale models and can be mounted in two orientations (bottom or back). The metal components required are: 4 x 50mm M3 screws for the main body 2 x 8mm M3 screws for the front guide The rope axle is constructed from a 4mm brass tube, which is carefully inserted into the 16mm gear. A small hole was drilled through it using a combination of pliers and a 1.5mm drill bit.
