Stanchion-Rope Hook

thingiverse

To help with our COVID-19 precautions at the library, we installed rope-dividers to support social distancing. This model is designed to print without support and assemble without requiring additional hardware. We printed on a Prusa i3 MK3S with no supports, .4mm nozzle, and 7% infill. **Creating the fabric sleeve:** 1. Cut a strip of fabric 60in by 5.25in. 2. Fold lengthwise with the right-sides together. 3. Sew the long-edges together with a .25in seam allowance. 4. Invert the fabric sleeve so the right-side is facing outwards. To do this, we inserted a rod through the sleeve, tied the corner of one opening to the rod, and removed the rod, inverting the sleeve! 5. Stuff the sleeve with a filler material (we used shredded paper). Having a rod the approximate diameter of the sleeve will help you push the filler through the sleeve. **Attaching the printed hook:** 1. Assemble the first 3 parts by inserting the hook into the "spool" and fixing it in place with the included peg. 2. Insert the end of the spool inside the fabric sleeve, leaving the threads visible. 3. Using a length of yarn or string, wrap the end of the sleeve tight against the spool several times and tie a knot to secure it. Trim the ends of the string short. 4. Slide the "dome" piece over the hook and screw it onto the threads.
