Description

This is an early stage prototype of an adaptive skipping rope attachment that allows someone with limb difference to jump rope. The inspiration came about due to skipping exercises during crossfit session I participate in. The goal for this design is to allow for skipping rope handles to be placed in the 'Rope Holder' socket and then the 'Holder Cap with Cut' secures the skipping rope handle. Due to the size of the 'Centre Piece' you will need access to a 3D printer that has a large z-axis as the piece should be printed vertically. I used the Bambu H2D with a brim to ensure the print was successful. Print settings: I used PLA for the 'Centre Piece' and 'Rope Holder' with 3 walls and 15% infill. I used TPU for the 'Holder Cap with Cut' with 2 walls and 30% infill. You will need: Print 2 'Rope Holder' parts, one for either side of the 'Centre Piece'. You will also need to print 2 'Holder Cap with Cut' to secure the skipping rope handle in the in the 'Rope Holder' part. 6 M3 x 15mm hex head screws to secure the 'Rope Holder' pieces to the 'Centre Piece' A hex head screw driver with extension
