Hello everyone! Thought I'd have a go at the hiking competition, I'm still learning, so as always, any feedback is most welcome.
Fully printable (no additional hardware) ratcheting ground anchor/tent peg!
Tent peg is removable, I've also designed a hook that can clip in too, I'll add the hook as a print profile on it's own. There is also a tension release lever on top (the part that sticks out)
I designed it as a super simple way to tighten guy lines on a tent, feed the line through and tighten, works surprisingly well. I've also used it as a temporary way to fix washing line onto a pole using the hook attachment.
I printed it in PLA but I'm sure PETG would be a bit stronger but haven't tried it yet.
Also, makes a satisfying clicking noise as an added bonus
Let me know if you like it!
IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE SPRING IN, LOOK AT THE IMAGE BELOW
Line up the part as shown above and push in, will bend a bit but then should pop in.
