Pinch Blocks for your home climbing/training wall.
There are 5 holds in this pack: 15degree Incut, 7.5degree Incut, Flat(90 degrees), 7.5degree Sloping, 15degree Sloping.
These holds will work best on overhanging walls and as part of a system board to train pinch strength at various angles. All the holds are 98mm long, 40mm deep and have a top face width of 46mm.
The pictures show an earlier version of the 15 degree Incut hold without the screw hole. It has been printed in PLA, but any filament can be used. It is best to lightly sand down the part after printing to remove the shine and provide a little more grip.
These have been designed to take Countersunk M10 bolts and 5mm wood screws (to stop rotation).
If you print in PLA please leave 72 hours between the end of printing and first use to allow the print to relax and attain its optimal strength.
Get in touch if you want any more sizes and I'll see what I can do.
I have had success printing with a layer height of 0.2mm, 4 perimeter shells and 40% rectilinear infill. If you try with any other settings please let me know how it turns out.
