Rope Pulley - PLA print in place

Finished Pulley

The original pulley

Problem: How do we convert this old, corroded pulley into a functioning 3D model?

First level, the 2d Sketch

Here we created the basic shape, and optimized it for 3d printing. You can see how the pulley is a lot more flat instead of rounded. This helps the print stick to the print bed and results in an overall higher quality print.

3D model finished, ready to print.

Here is a comparison showing how accurate the models we can design are. This particular object had to be printed with enough of a gap between the wheel and the walls of the pulley in order to ensure free movement.
