Turnbuckle Construction Set
From Open Source Ecology
- Turnbuckle body
- Contains ends that can be replaced - eye, hook, bolt, threaded rod, etc.
- Body extensible to any length - 3D printed with insert steel is one option for light duty
- For steel, end turnbuckle plates have 3 threaded holes, threadable with any length bolt. Or plain holes, with threaded rod struts fixed with nuts.
- Rubber sleeves on threaded lock provide loose location hold
- Minimalist: 2 plates with 3 holes as most flexible unit. Threaded for more constraint. Monobody turnbuckle body for further constraint.
