Fishing Rod

thingiverse

This is a custom fishing rod, designed for optimal performance and durability. PLA filament was chosen due to its low shrinkage rate, resulting in a precise fit. The infill percentage was set at 50% to achieve the perfect balance between strength and weight. A resolution of 0.2 mm ensured crisp details and a smooth finish. The reel was carefully engineered to print without supports, guaranteeing clean surfaces and a professional appearance. Its various components were designed to be easily assembled using glue or epoxy glue, making it simple to put together. In contrast, the rod itself required support during printing to maintain its shape. To connect the reel and rod securely, a screw with a nut (M5*16) was used. The nut was fixed in place using glue for added stability. The alerter bite is strategically located at the end of the rod, ready to spring into action when a fish bites.
