Summary

Pulley Kit for friction-fit

Some axles may require slight sanding to fit together smoothly.
Designed to be assembled with vice grips and gentle-tap-hammer.

You don't actually need the linking lugs if you have some strong rope... but it won't look as nice.

(Hook2 is the "good hook"!)

Thousand-Mile Review

I've now used my set for a while, and my nephew has used a few copies of my design in his fort for over a year. Overall I'd say they were a worthwhile design & print.

Good & Bad Components

  • Hook 1 isn't very good.
  • Hook 2 rocks!
  • The wishbone is a weak-point of the design, because of the nature of 3D printed materials.
    -- (It is really more for looks)
    -- Moreover I busted mine lifting an outboard motor onto a dinghy.
    -- Just use another length of rope in it's stead!

    Applications

  • Perfect for camping, even a single pulley makes bear hangs just so simple.
    -- Lightweight and useful-for-volume-occupied.
  • Hook 2 is just a great hook for a lot of stuff. I've printed quite a few sizes of it. Print solid.
  • Ideal for my nephew's tree-fort. He has a whole gate- & drawbridge-system.
  • A lot of users seem to want it for making miniature boat rigging
  • It's been suggested to use them as home decor options.
  • If printed properly, can handle actual load (wishbone excepted): I can lift myself with mine!
