Need to splice rope or maybe make soft shackles as I did, then this is the tool that worked for me.

Soft shackles are usually spliced with a loop in one end. Lines/ropes ends go through each other, and or are fed into part of the line/rope. This tool can open a whole and take the line through similar to a needle and thread in sewing. The caveat with needles is that the following line is doubles and would get stuck when splicing.
This tool is hollow in one end into which the line end is pushed and lightly locked, enough to pull the end through.
If you have a thicker line than 4mm you might want to scale up this tool to match.
I used PETG and 100% infill. Possibly a rim on the outside. Print with the model standing on the wider base. Good cooling and slow printing is probably needed if the defaults for your chosen filament only melts into some sort of curvy pile.
