Disc golf disc grabber retriever tool with pole mount

**UPDATED(8/4/2020):** First field trial tool broke on me. New version is much stronger. Suggest 4 wall layers (1.6mm with 0.4 nozzle). **UPDATED(8/11/2020):** Added a hook to the tip of one side of the clip. Ran into a situation where a disc needed to be reached and pulled back and could barely pull it off. Hook would have made it so much easier. 4.7b is safe for PLA+. **UPDATED(10/4/2020):** PLA+ version couldn't stand the heat. Tried printed in PETG and the tolerances were too tight and arc is too brittle. Made a looser tolerances version with a longer arc that seems to be safe for PETG. v5b **UPDATED(10/24/2020):** PETG version v5b is now v5b2r, it has a minor fix and model is repaired for no errors. Should print fine. Added 10.3mm version of v5b2r for other pole size as requested. Loved the idea of this tool, but didn't like just strapping it to any random stick. So I had 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)) and added a ring to the original so I could slide it into there. Everything else is the same. I suggest printing on it's side, not sure why the original model is on the 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. I sanded it 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 not so brittle. Expect it to put up with things OK. Only concern might be how well PLA deal with UV\Sun. Keep it moderately protected and it might be fine. If not I've still got some PETG around somewhere.
