Small upgrade for your mainsail battcar system. Should help avoid losing nuts (and your mainsail along with them). Can be used with a single nut, nut & washer, flange nut, or free-spinning washer nut. Originally designed for 22mm mainsail battcar system by Harken.
The design is open-source and fully-customizable, made using ShapeScript.
Parts
Printing
You'll need some kind of UV-resistant rigid filament (e.g. ASA), whatever infill % you feel is right, but I used 100% for my rig. The gasket is optional, it should be printed out of something flexible (e.g. TPU).
Installation
Put a nut & washer (ideally use flange nut — as one part) into the holder, glue it to each of your mainsail traveler cars (I used 5200 by 3M, but feel free whatever rocks your boat). The flexible gasket is optional, mostly intended to prevent the nut from becoming loose too easily.
Don't forget to apply some sort of dielectric grease to threads in order to protect the parts from eventually fusing together. Tie fasteners with some sort of a thin string to make sure they don't ever get lost.
