My last update is 2,5 weeks ago. I did not work on the sail till today. One picture because nothing changed till now. But I did work on my modelling tools. I'm making a rope walk on my 3D printer. Designing it in AutoCAD and printing it on my old updated machine. Yes I got a good design now and after a few failed prints I started today, printing the final result and when the DC motor and a few other parts, I need, arrive from China I can say I got a compact nice rope walk. Not for me, I already got one. But if someone is interested in making ropes and want a machine. Just for the price of the parts and prints, no profit.
And if there are more people interested, no problem.
some already printed parts
Printing the body of the ropewalk (takes 2 days with Petg filament)
I am making the parts out of Petg filament, because mechanical parts need to be strong. ABS is difficult to print on an older Ender 3, it's expensive and that's why I choose for Petg. It is as strong as ABS, cheaper and easier to print.
In a few days I can show you my design and til that time I work on my sails again.
