Dog Leash Routing Clamp

thingiverse

Whenever we occasionally had to tie our dog to his retractable leash inside the house, one problem we observed was that the leash would reach above the table and knock over the stuff on it (such as the red vase pictured above). I therefore decided to come up with a solution that would route the leash downwards from the staircase railing, so that it would reach below the table. I designed this piece in OpenSCAD. It consists of a two-piece clamp, attached together using two M3 35mm screws, as well as an empty space for the leash to go through. This space has a thin slanted slit at the front, so that the leash can easily be placed in and taken out. It also has a fillet at the bottom so that the leash can slide more easily. This seems to work very well. It does add quite a bit of friction, but our dog doesn't seem to have much difficulty pulling on the leash. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: Printed in white eSun PLA. Was initially printing at 80mm/s, but then increased to 120% (96mm/s) to finish faster. Print quality looks decent, considering the speed.
