Default Parachute Shroud Line De-Tangler

This 3D model is based on an idea from Bill Alewine that was published in the June/July issue of, "Model Rocket News" on page five.

This button is design to help reduce or eliminate parachute shroud line tangling. There are two versions - a six hole and an eight hole.

Each button is 1 inch (25.4mm) in diameter with each of the holes having a 3.5mm diameter. You should be able to upscale or downscale these STL models to suit your needs.

You can download it for free from Thingiverse and print it out on your 3D printer.

You might be able to use this to slow down parachute deployment similar to sliders that are used on skydiving ram-air parachutes to reduce or eliminate the zippering of airframe tubes. See the video to show how it works.
