Heavy-duty cord tensioner (e.g. for camping)
Print Profile(1)
Description
Please read everything ;)
As my small cord tensioner received feedback that it wasn't suitable for camping, here's a more robust version that (made of ABS) also works outdoors for camping and securing items such as wood tarpaulins
For outdoor use, I recommend ABS/PETG
Updated:
- Optimized print settings for durability
- Optionally (visible in the last picture) reinforced with a washer
Static load tested up to 50 kg (screenshot from video)
Brief Test Summary (PLA):
- Tested with a luggage scale (55kg max.)
- with triple mason line
under downward pull
With just one cord, the cord cut into the print at approximately 30kg
→Washer protects the spot
With a washer: Test successfully completed at 50.8 kg, as the maximum test load is 55kg.
Instructions for threading the cord (as seen in pictures) :
If the washer is used, it must be threaded in at the corresponding spot.
- Place as shown in the photo and tie the cord at the “pointed” end
- Pull through the upper hole from the slanted side to the straight side
- repeat the previous step (so that the cord goes around the bar once)
- now thread the cord, which should be on the slanted side again, through the lower hole from right to left
- tighten everything; Done
Please note that the loop attached at the beginning must be used for fastening, otherwise it will not work.
By pulling back slightly, you can re-tension it, but be careful not to press on the cord with your fingers.

I would be very happy about feedback or a rating ;)
