Skipping rope handles with detachable screw-down caps.
UPDATE 02/03/18 – Modifed STL files for intended printing orientation.
I created these for my 5 yr old daughter after she asked me to buy her a set from a shop… I thought I could do better (and for cheaper) so here we go.
Should be fairly straightforward to print. PLA is fine for these. Print two each of ‘Cap Body’ and ‘Handle Body’ STL files. I printed them in different colours, as per photographs, for a nicer look.
I used 8mm climbing rope (not sure of composition, possible cotton/polyester, possibly nylon) but it should be good quality rope with a decent weight to it. Determine correct length of rope for height of individual (http://www.rxsmartgear.com/how-to-size-your-rope/)
thread the caps on and tie a single simple knot to secure, trim and screw cap down to handle body. Repeat for other end, and enjoy!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
