Finished the initial prototype of the wire roller thingy (fairlead?) it bolts on to the handle., and it seems to be quite strong so far. If there is enough tether strain to break it I have bigger problems, and i’d rather it break than the handle at that point anyways. The brass rods will be stainless once the correct size tube gets here. Takes 6 13mm OD bearings, a bunch of m4 bolts, some M3 bolts and heat set inserts, and some nuts.
Next up, the USB and network cable strain relief velro holder piece. and Lid version 2 with the mini USB in it and a “water resistance in theory maybe” flap. Then I’ll release the files so people can build their own. There will also be a cable stop piece of some sort and some “roll up the last 2 feet of the tether with the anchor point” holders outside the spool so that section doesn’t end up scratching up the tether wires. Those bits won’t take long to make though,
