Windlass Outcome

Today we demoed our windlass. Unfortunately, the string winding along the rod pushed the outer bushing off the rod and broke the windlass. If we had encountered this problem earlier, we could have used the same piano wire attachment that we used on the crank arm to connect the outer bushing to the rod, which would have solved the problem.

Material use:
Delrin: 19x26cm (494 cm^2)
Rod: 9 + 17 cm (26cm)
