×Ape Board - Rock Climbing Training Board, Latest Version!
3D
This is the latest version of the Ape Board (Version 1 here). It's a finger training tool aimed at rock climbers. Attach some cord to the board and you can take it anywhere. Its great for warming up your fingers before you crush your projects and can be used for training when you're on the move or if you have limited space.
It doesn't take up much room in your bag and weighs in at about 450g so you won't even notice its there.
Whether you buy or print your own Ape Board - let me know how you get on!
The board is 310mm long which is too large for the majority of desktop 3D printers so I've split it into left and right parts. Print them with the back of the board on the print bed, as they are in the STL files, so that the layering doesnt weaken the board. I've used PLA and had good results, I wouldn't recommend printing this in ABS as it is not quite as rigid and test parts have flexed too much.
Previous versions of this board have held up really well over months of regular use so I recommend the following print settings for use with PLA:
Layer Height: 0.2mm
4 Perimeter Shells
40% Rectilinear Infill
60mm/s Print Speed
Print with a Raft and Support.
The Left part will take approximately 15 hours to print and use about 220g of filament & The Right part will take approximately 18 hours to print and use about 290g of filament.
