Simple Ratcheting Reel
grabcad
This is a simple ratcheting reel I designed as a hobby project. I originally meant it to be a survival/emergency/pocket fishing reel, but I realized it can be used for any string or small strap you'd want. A simple button with an integrated spring controls the ratcheting mechanism. I designed this model with the idea of 3D printings and plan on doing so when I have the time. Requires 27 X 3mm self tapping screws of various lengths to assemble. I may redesign it at a later date to simply snap together, but I don't think it would be as strong as this version.
