Jump Rope Handle

Jump Rope Handle

I printed the kids some of these as a small Christmas gift one year. I found some ¼" glow-in-the-dark rope for extra fun factor. This is a great way to burn some energy or get your blood pumping, which I can attest to since I also made one for myself.

Print with the small hole down and you shouldn't need supports. Requires 2 per rope.

About me:

Drafter-designer. I used to work in Mechanical Engineering, where I learned to use an FDM 3D Printer, and now I have my own. To understand my work and my designs, it is important to know these things:
1. I almost always print PETG. It is a durable, easy to print material, and is forgiving if something goes not-quite-right with the print. I never use PLA - that is for desktop toys.
2. I try my best to design a product that does not require supports. Post-processing is the worst, IMHO, and that includes removing supports. In addition to this, I try to use as little material as I can. Because of these things, some of my designs might look a little funky or skeletal.
3. No sharp edges allowed. After I'm through with the main body of a model, I go through and round off as many edges as I can. It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that most folks don't seem to put this effort into their designs. Unfortunately, this adds quite a bit of time to the design process, and can make the models more complex than they really need to be. I assure you it's worth it.
4. I have an outdated license of Solidworks that I do my 3D modeling on. Although I am extremely proficient with it, 2019 was the last version I had before my subscription expired.

I am a dad, homeowner, and a gamer, so the majority of what you will find here falls into one of those categories. I try to include as much technical information as possible with my designs, and if you have a comment/question/request, feel free to message me for more info.
