Abstract
- This OSAT is a heavy-duty pulley that can be used to raise water from a well [1]. This pulley can be customized to any desired size, and can be paired with multiples of itself to further increase mechanical advantage.
Bill of Materials
- The wheel and mount are designed to be printed in PLA or ABS, and the parts are customizable to any desired metric bolt size from M4 to M10.

- Total BOM: Printed mount, printed pulley wheel, 1 bolt for the shaft, 1 nut.
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT
- Ability to operate a 3D printer and Thingiverse Customizer.
Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions
