The original ratchet design is pretty awesome, but for the bigger model, I felt that the moving arm is just too short. This makes it difficult to wrap something that's reasonably thick and/or heavy. Extending the arm pre-loads more tension in the ratchet, which allows it to hold big bundles, such as a power extension cord, easily. This makes it slightly harder to move the ratchet arm, but I think it's well worth the extra hold and tension. In addition, I've made a few other improvements, such as fine tuning the tolerance on the bridge for the ratchet arm, and also added a few other variations (see below). I'm definitely open for suggestions and improvement ideas. I have test printed most of these, but let me know if you experience problems. The adjustments to a consistent 0.2mm tolerance makes the arm much more stable, there's literally no wobble on the ratchet printed on my X1C.Updates2025-07-10: I've added a parametric version of the ratchet, it takes two sett
