I am just learning. Can you give some hints on printing specs? How did you orient the hangar on the plate? Type of material?
Thanks
I would suggest using 100% infill.
Correct. Once you get above 50% infill, the improvement in strength is often not that beneficial but it does make people feel better.
the printed ones rotate on the boom. so shouldnt be an issue. i do like the ones i got from aerosouth. ben has softy velcros and they work just as well and about the same price.One really wants a sheet hanger that is soft! The forward one comes close to the skull when tacking or jibing.
As Alan wrote; keep it simple!
Here is a pic of one from Intensity Sails. That is the sheet running through it. It’s so you don’t have the sheet hang up on your head when you tack.IPlease post a photo showing this installed.
Thanks for the photo. Does not seem to be a problem for me. Mostly the sheet runs in little pulleys. The way it was built. The few times I have felt the line it slipped easily up the back of my PFD. I can see where this might make it nicer for tall sailers. Occasionally, 5’-6” works out for me.
ben is 6'2. halyard between 5 and 6 clip. it was getting stuck on his. he loves the hangers.The hangars go in between the two pulleys.
I think the height thing is definitely part of it (combined with halyard position on the upper).
If you're 5'6" and running the halyard 74" down the spar (Geezer rig) - it's probably never a problem.
If you're 6'2" and running the halyard 54" down the spar (racing rig) - it's likely to be a lot more of a problem.
I'm 6' and run the halyard at 64" down - and if I'm not chest to knees when the boom comes across, the boom itself will catch on my life jacket. I had the forward boom pulley catch in my hair and rip a handful out last week.
