Winch02

This is version 02, a more compact and robust iteration. It performs exceptionally well with no issues, even when paired with a 330-gram beer can, which exceeds my needs for my RC sailboat. I successfully integrated a modified servo without the potentiometer, ensuring that if my command stick is in neutral position, the winch remains locked in place. The drum has been upgraded to a 15mm diameter ABS component, while I utilized a 7mm wide piece of rubber hose from a garden tube. If you discover an alternative size for the rubber tubing, feel free to adjust the diameters within the Scad files for the drum and pusher.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy using this version!
