From: Amelia Meyer
[mailto:agmlego@gmail.com] Al, My dad and I were at Clark Lake this
past weekend, in W2413. You and I discussed that I
should send you a link to my project, a screw-based
replacement for the jib halyard tensioning systems
sometimes called magic boxes.
Please find here a blog post I just
published on the subject: https://www.i3detroit.org/wayfarer-magic-box-replacement/ In addition, all of the design files,
as well as 2D prints and assembly instructions, can be
found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3885473 Feel free to post these links on your
website, and/or send them to people you think might
be interested in them. All of the designs are
open-source, and derivatives are fine so long as there
is an attribution to me mentioned in the new designs. I
would prefer to collect questions or comments on the Thingiverse
site linked above; easier to manage in one spot.
However, I can take those at this email address if
needed. Happy sailing! -- Amelia G. Meyer |
