Hi, Great little project, and very well broken down.Also excellent explanation on how to use the blink app.I was wondering, is there anyway to connect to your WiFi using just the blink app or some other workaround, or would you always have to change the arduino code to suit SSID & Password

Really like the idea of this project! It’s well on my to do list 😌

Hi Mate. Nice work!!

Hi Pal, Good luck with the project... I will change the file now. Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi Woodchipwilbur,Thanks for the positive feedback, and i'm glad you have been sucessful with your build! It's really great that you've posted pictures too as its very interesting to see others having fun with this project. I am aware there are quite a few things you can do to make this better and easier to use, however as i've mentioned this is the 1st Design of this machine I have done and had just under a week to complete design/print/document and publish for the rope making competition...I like the idea of making this into a motorised 1 man operating machine too, and would love to see whet you come up with here!!Please keep me posted,All the best,Graham XD

Hi Mark, Thanks for your comment. It's very nice to hear all the work put into this has been appreciated by many!I have actually had a comment before about the black PLA I was using, and they too said it looked like it may have been printed a bit hot. This was a slightly rushed attempt as it was a "Speed" competition I was entering. Had I had a little extra time, I probably would've re printed and changed up a few things. But yes, the "Weight Trough" was also printed in the same material at the same temperature, so I'm not quite sure what happend there.Also, I definately will be looking at the other printing Materials! I've seen a few I maybe interested in trying, but literally i've only really picked up this printer in the last 3months or so, so everything has been a …

(Everyday is a school day right)Thanks again for your comment, Really appreciate it!Graham

Hey Pal,Thanks for your comments, they're reall great. I'm very happy to here this will be a project you would like to follow. If you need any help along the way, Just Ask :-)

Hi Pal,Thanks for letting me know... I will change the files so it'll have 4 cogs...All the best,Graham

Hey,Nice idea! I’m sure if the cable was flexible enough and insulated, you would have no problem in doing this.

Hi,Good Idea! I think this would work if you used a flexible enough insulated cable.

Oh, Thanks MrStan,I have a Tronxy XY-2. It's a pretty good printer for the price and a lot of very good reviews online and youtube. Amazon were pumping them pretty cheap (about £120 at the time), because I think they were bringing out the next gen "Tronxy", so bargain had there! Ever since I had mine, honestly I haven't stopped using it :-)

Thank you! Hope it goes well if you give it a go ;-)

That's a good idea. If you twist the induvidual strands first, you will find the rope will stay braided, and not tend to unwind...

Hi, CRHolder... Your Absolutely right! Files now uploaded, Thanks :-)

Thanks a lot 🙂👍🏻

Hi Diagnostix84,I have added an additional step explaining how I did this.Good luck with the build ;-)

Hey Great tutorial. I've been wondering how to add different fonts to TinkerCad for a while now. Very easy indeed. Thanks!
