Disc golf disc grabber retriever tool with pole mount

**UPDATED(8/4/2020):** First field trial tool broke on me, but a new version is much stronger now. Suggest 4 wall layers (1.6mm with 0.4 nozzle). **UPDATED(8/11/2020):** A hook was added to the tip of one side of the clip. I encountered a situation where a disc needed to be reached and pulled back, but it barely came off. The hook would have made it much easier. 4.7b is safe for PLA+. **UPDATED(10/4/2020):** The PLA+ version couldn't withstand heat. I tried printing in PETG, but the tolerances were too tight and the arc was too brittle. A looser tolerances version with a longer arc that seems to be safe for PETG was made, v5b. **UPDATED(10/24/2020):** The PETG version v5b is now v5b2r, it has a minor fix and model is repaired for no errors. It should print fine. A 10.3mm version of v5b2r was added for other pole sizes as requested. I loved the idea of this tool, but I didn't like just strapping it to any random stick. So an old Golf Ball retriever pole ([This one](https://www.amazon.com/Orlimar-15-Foot-Fluorescent-Head-Retriever/dp/B004LFW7S8/ref=sr_1_6?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Golf+Ball+Retrievers&qid=1595829250&s=golf&sr=1-6&ts_id=3411041&tag=tv-auto-20)) was used and a ring was added to the original so it could be slid into there. Everything else is the same. I suggest printing on its side, not sure why the original model is on top. Only tested it at home, but it's not going anywhere on the pole. The one I had ended in a 9.7mm tip, there is a 9.6mm hole in the model. It was sanded just a tiny bit to make sure it was a tight fit. If you need it for different pole sizes let me know and I'll see what I can do. Send me the measurement in mm with some calipers. I printed v4.7 using PLA+, which has a little flex so it's not so brittle. Expect it to put up with things OK. Only concern might be how well PLA deals with UV/Sun. Keep it moderately protected and it might be fine. If not, I've still got some PETG around somewhere.
