Make your rope on a rope walk

I did a lot of research on how to make rope on a rope walk and build my own rope walk. I love to share my experience with you. The quality of the rope delivered in your kit is not always of high quality. Fluffy, badly made so that you can better use it to tie up your old paper than to rig your...

Continuous Rope Walk

Hello all, As most of you know this hobby can lead you down many rabbit holes. Aftermarket this, homemade that, and everything in between. My latest rabbit hole is rope. And while there are many quality scale rope makers out there, I wanted to try and build my own continuous rope walk. I...

Hello Ornhold,
I built my own ropewalk. You can see here how it is built : https://fablab.lacasemate.fr/#!/pro...re-les-cordages-pour-les-maquettes-de-bateaux

Impressive. But I understand French. Is it possible to buy STL files to be able to 3d print the parts?

Hello. Ornholt

Thingiverse.com has STL files for a ropewalk for 3D printing.

I love the team work of this forum when we all help each other get better at ship building.

Hi Ornbolt,
I used commercially available components to build my machine: the can holders, the green gears, the motor, the bearings, the main threaded shaft. In fact I only have the blue parts that are 3D printed. These parts are specifically adapted to the other components. I don't think the STL files for these two parts are very useful but I can provide them to you.
Here is a link on this forum that provides also further explanations: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/using-a-rope-walk.9044/#post-219066
