How much would a gallon of water weigh
pulling it 300 feet up with a rope??
Asking for a friend.
Don't know, never tried but imagine it'd get heavier and heavier each time you lost hold of the rope and had to start over.

All of these "Calculations," do not discuss/equate anything to/about "Just How Thirsty, Are You?"
That would be the key to pulling up a gallon of water from 300'.
Any effort/force/Ft. Lbs of Energy, Etc. are all just subjective, until that is factored in.
Thirsty enough? Water available 300' down?
What? I've gotta pull up 1 gallon (@8.34 lbs/gal.) Up 300'?
Get outta my way.

What about the rope? Organic or synthetic? How big should the diameter of the rope be?

So would the water.
Weight is a function of gravity and distance.
The mass of the earth and the water (m1 and m2) stay the same, but the weight (F) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two centers of mass (R2):
 F = G(m1m2)/R2
Fair enough. So, starting at 3500' above sea level how many feet would Joe have to lift a gallon of water for it to lose six ounces of weight?

A friend has a, D D D printer and will print me off a 300 plus foot rope. How big around does it need to be to pull 8.3 pounds?

It should have a factor of safety of 2 to comply with good design practice.
