3D printed Toy Cam
|
3D printed this number one Cam over the weekend since I was off the rock due to rain and a kink in the neck. PLA with a total print time of ~3 hours scavenged some copper wire for axles and a spring from Lowes, couple paper clips and bam a number one cam ready to hold a truck made by matchbox. Needs the end plates and some slightly thicker axles and it would improve performance significantly. She works but is a little wonky. |

make one using DLMS and lets go climbing! :) |
|
Very cool. I'd take a few... they'd make sweet x-mas tree ornaments! |
|
ironically I was thinking they would make sweet xmas tree ornaments too or maybe this is what you keep your iphone or guide book tethered to the cliff with? |
|
howdy Kyle. nice! |
|
Karl!! long time no see |
|
So cool! Any chance you can post the .stl's? |
|
I would also greatly appreciate it if you would post the .stl's as well. |
|
.STL files are here: |
|
I'd love to see this thing strength tested. |
|
The rating would be measured in fN. |
|
haha right now it holds about 48fN if I rebuild the axles out of not hand bent copper wire it would probably work a little better. Need to find some better springs too, will probably try and rebuild it next chance I get, just gotta make that trip to the hardware store. Could probably pull test this to death but I don't have access to an instron(pull test machine) so it would have to be a natural crack with... maybe my body weight or some big rocks? I guess just test the static load rating?? ideas?? |
|
Using these would reinforce "the leader must not fall"! |
|
haha, kept my bag dry while we were at the deep water solo spot yesterday :) |
|
^That is quite cool^ |

Photo looks like a large-mouth bass hanging from the cam. |

Did up the number 2 cam files here: |
|
Solidworks files for the number three cam are up |
|
CAD for sizes one through four |

This is super cool and creative, nice work man. |
