Testing of Rev 3

Print settings below.

I optimized the design for 75% scale for my specific needs, however I performed some one-off tests to see how it performed at different sizes. I recommend at least a 3:1 safety factor to avoid deformation and stress marks with light stress and 5:1 where the carabiner will experience more g-forces.

50%45lbs x 3 reps50lbs41.9g

Note: At 75% and below, the carabiner seems to fail as a result of filament tensile strength – either at the hook on the main body, one of the top two bends, or in the gate. During the 100% test, the hook failed due to layer separation.

Print Settings

I found that there was very little difference in filament consumption (~7g total) between 50% gyroid infill and 100% concentric, however the filament paths for 100% concentric seemed optimal for strength and the prints were a bit faster.

Assembly

The keeper mechanism and longer catch/hook make the assembly a little trickier than the original, but still very similar. I suggest watching the assembly video provided in the original.

  1. Flex bottom part of the catch to break any attachment that may have formed during the print.
  2. With the part flexed, insert the bottom portion into main body hole as described in original video.
  3. With the part flexed (the top will be inside of the main body), spread the part and install catch/hook.
  4. Press hook/catch all the way in before closing carabiner.

Printing Small

The smallest I could get this model to print with o 0.4mm nozzle was 50%. Sizes below 75% may require using a hobby knife on the gate to unfuse layers and allow it to flex properly. 

You may also need to break them in a bit to get them to close well. For this I move the gate open and closed several times to wear down any rough edges. I also apply 10-15lbs of force with the carabiner closed to help everything align correctly.
