This is a 3D model of a rope tensioner, ideal for tensioning various masts or antennas. The turnbuckle consists of two parts, the first is the turnbuckle itself and the second is the rope breaker, which secures the rope with a screw so that the rope cannot loosen.

Use two M3x10 mm screws to attach the rope breaker. Next, use two M3 nuts that are inserted into the model during printing, it is necessary to set the print pause (M601) in the slicer. The suspension is about 4.6 mm of print height, but you will see that in your slicer. (The rope breaker is not necessary for the function of the turnbuckle, but I definitely recommend using it.)

The rope tensioner is intended for smaller ropes up to a maximum diameter of 3 mm.

Printing with supports, Infill: 50%, Material: ABS or PET-G.
