    3D printed throw weights

    When a design costs close to or more to make then what you could sell it for the whole thing becomes obviously untenable to produce. I’m sure there’s a magic formula for what that number is I just don’t know what it is myself. I’m financing my prints and parts myself but it’s not a bottomless...

    What about if the throw line threaded through the centre of the weight to be tied to the bottom. That would leave no knots at the smooth nose cone section of the throw weight. Next is trying to incorporate a breakaway function for the throw line using that design element.

    I’m loving the drawings guys thanks. You all draw better than me. Thank the gods for my 3-D modelling software Blender. Lol In your drawing were you have the air void i used springy polyester fill. Foam rubber would’ve worked too, I just didn’t have any so I tore apart one of my kids old...

    That’s a damn good idea about the buckles. No sense reinventing the wheel.

    You’re not kidding it would. I can see many hours with my 3-D modelling software trying to come up with a viable design.

    3D printed throw weights

    Hey thanks for your insight. You are right I am not an arborist. I’m a rec climber. I do remember those rubber springy things. I have tried making the base which is flexible with thicker material However the rebound effect is very pronounced as it is in those items that you mentioned that are...

    That’s interesting i was about to make a sheath for cloth throw bags but someone beat me to it. C’est la vie ( such is life)

    If we/I can ever get it figured out so it works then it’s a deal. I’m going to be looking for people to test this anyway.

    No matter what it’ll be a design challenge. Choosing the correct polymer is just the start but i do think you idea has merit.

    I got ya. I know exactly what you’re talking about. Unfortunately not every idea is printable. The idea is sound yet tweeting it so it can be printed is the trick.

    What about splitting the pin so it flares out. You would need to squeeze it together to push it into the receiving end? Might be worth a try and possible with my printer.

    I’m heading out soon it’s Canada‘s here. I’ll give your plan a good looking out when I’ve got the time. Just off the cuff I was thinking about a tube that the string goes through where all the internal hairs (for lack of a better word) were oriented toward the base. Think of a roll of Astroturf...
