A thimble for a rope eye for low load applications.
I needed a thimble for my anchor mooring to protect the mooring rope eye from chafe from the shackle. Barnacles grow on the rope, shackles corrode, and
over a period of time can wear out the anchor line. This also has the advantage of being non-conductive for long term salt water applications.
Print in nylon for strength, or ABS for economy.
The strength is dependent on the number of layers, and the fill percentage. I used 5 layers, 30
