Rope Making Machine

Video of it in action! https://youtu.be/4yeiTEQm_LM Files for an opensource rope making machine designed by me are available here. The parts can be 3D printed, and I used a MPCNC to cut out the parts from 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch plywood. Not every detail is modeled, so these files would require additional work to print correctly. I welcome anyone to remix and modify the files on GrabCad: https://grabcad.com/library/465731 All bolts used are 5/16th in size. A recessed pocket was created for a small gear, where a nut is glued into place using locktite and then epoxied. Mounting, handle design, attachment, and spacers between the plates were modeled. I did not have a great way to do it, so I improvised.
With this file you will be able to print Rope Making Machine with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Rope Making Machine.
