Sidi Motorcycle Boot Tensioner

thingiverse

I've been struggling with a frustrating issue on my Sidi motorcycle boots - the tensioner crank suddenly fell off, leaving me unable to tighten the straps properly. Determined to find a solution, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a low-poly replica of the knob that I desperately needed to grasp onto and turn. The design consists of a simple hemisphere with a distinctive fin on top - there must be more technical terms for it, but I'll stick to what I know. The original model had a nifty feature that allowed me to flip it up and down, but as this was my first foray into 3D modeling, my skills were still in their infancy. Perhaps in version 2, I'll revisit the design and add that functionality - who knows?
