I needed a way to get climbing ropes out of sight for a play and came up with this simple design. The rope can be clipped in so it's out of the way, just a tug on the rope releases it when it's time to use it.
I used PLA+ with 0.2mm layer height and 100% infill and it works well. Not sure how just using screws will depress the PLA over time.
EDIT: The PLA didn't last long, the rope got loose within two weeks. I'm printing some with PETG at the moment and will update when I've tested it some more.
EDIT2: PETG works well, after aligning the clip as parallel as possible to the direction of the release pull, I no longer experienced breakages throughout the rest of the shows.
