Description

PDF

DIN rails are cheap and awesome standardized mounting solutions. This ratchet has a spring loaded DIN rail mount mechanism which makes it useful to arrange cables under the desk or anywhere else where you can attach a DIN rail.

This ratchet geometry is working well - more than 20k downloads from the original one: https://www.printables.com/model/19378-ratchets 

The fat chicken edition got a little facelift:

  • more teeth
  • fat chicken lock

Due to these tweaks the fat chicken ratchet can lock quite tightly.

I have uploaded the Fusion 360 source file as well in case if you would need to alter the ratchet's dimensions.

I'm printing it on Prusa printers (MK3S and Prusa Mini) using eSUN's ABS+ with 0.2 mm layer heights, 4 perimeter shells (for rigidity) and without supports.
