Description
A parametric buckle for connecting and tensioning two flat lines. The knot shown in the picture slips in one direction only - if you apply tension to the inner of the two line ends. If the tension is equal or larger on the outer line, it is self-locking.
Not safe for any purpose, but I tensioned mine (10mm bars, solid print) up to some 5kN.
Parameters:
- Line width, bar diameter, overall length, tolerance
- Offset from center (working with thick lines requires more spacing in the center)
Feel free to flattr this if it makes loose ends meet for you.
