String pulleys for robot arm mechanics

This is where I am in the research for building a good, modular, robotic arm system with string pulley mechanics. I use 1/32 in stainless steel cable and aluminum crimp-beads to connect two pulleys.

I recommend printing them in the orientation they are in (even if you're inclined to lay them down ;-)

I also recommend printing them without supports -- though you may need to enable "bridge" settings for the open-air gaps.
