**not for actual use**
but great to practice placements
this is a for fun version of a rock climbing cam which can relatively easily be printed, the only hardware you will need are some cap head 6/32" screws. two screws that are 1in and two which are 3/4 inch. I got these at ace hardware but any hardware store should have them and if you toy with the scaling just a little bit you could likely make many diameter sizes fit. the main thing you need is the ~.25" difference in height.
I printed all files at 125% scale, except the trigger wires, which are correctly scaled.
I printed all parts with a .4mm nozzel, this may affect how your coil spring prints!
an inner washer may be needed on the inside of each lobe but will need to be trimmed down as to not hit the other cap washer on the adjacent lobe.
trigger wires are pushed through the correct hole in cam lobes and then a lighter is used to melt the plastic so it will not come back through the hole.
