Broom Stick Handle Repair Joiner Coupling

thingiverse

I remixed happysoul's broom stick repair joiner piece thingy, adding improvements. Here are the changes I made: 1. Extended it: For metal broom handles, when you cut out the section of the bent part, you end up cutting away a longer length of material because the crease creates an oval shape. To compensate for losing 30-40mm of material, I extended this joiner. 2. Added a spacer inside to keep two pieces apart, effectively regaining the lost material from the original broom stick. The inserted sleeve is tapered at 45 degrees, eliminating the need for support material. 3. Rounded off the top end with a fillet. Depending on where your break is and where you'll rest your hand will determine whether this end goes on top or bottom. I added it anyway; you can also wrap tape to hold everything together, which would achieve the same result. 4. You can wrap ends with tape to secure them initially, but I drilled two holes later and used self-tapping metal screws to keep things in place.
