Tarp Slide Lock line tensioner (all in one)

thingiverse

These are all variations of the original that I built. The original works great if the string is fairly small but as soon as I was done I needed to use very small bungee line and it wasn't a long enough channel. So I extended the channel and then opened the back up and then shrunk it again. So each of these are for a slightly different size of cord/rope/bungee. This also includes the slide printed as one unit and you should be able to pop it loose. I did not use any supports. The photo is a handful I recently printed. The are a bit rough for fast prints for proto typing. This is a single piece sliding lock similar to what can be purchased at https://dutchwaregear.com/product/slide-lock/. Little did I know I could purchase these. I spent an entire day looking for them and when I went to find pictures for this build I stumbled onto a post that described them and where you could purchase them... Either way I had already printed them and so might as well upload for others. So I used this as a hammock tarp tightener. I have an Amok tarp and ABSOLUTELY love it. The tarp has this type of line lock. BUT I have several other homemade tarps that just are not as nice. So I got home from a trip and modelled theses. Hope someone else finds them useful. Notice: I am using a extreme strength braided fishing line as the string. It is very strong, light weight. If you are using something thinker you might need to scale this slightly
