Rope Machine 3 Strand/Hooks

thingiverse

I've had several people come back to me about my original rope machine, looking for a 3 hook version. Someone even made the compelling point that while 4 strand rope is stronger than 3, 3 strand rope is much easier to splice, and I agree! I spent some time remastering my rope machine to use 3 hooks. The 3 hook remix uses the same parts as the 4 hook. You only need to print one magicwand3hooks.stl and two mainbracket3hooks.stl. Then you can use three of your four hooks from the original rope machine and assemble all the parts. Clips, handles, grips, and gears from the 4 hook version should all fit into the 3 hook main bracket. You can even pack around the extra parts in case you feel like making 4 strand rope later!
