Fishing Rod Pod for Carp - 3D print Rod Pod

Why invest in a rodpod when single banksticks are your go-to most of the time? This rodpod makes it easy to use those banksticks and eliminates the need for a buzzer bar, which tends to come loose and turn anyway. It's designed specifically for 16mm banksticks. If you prefer 13mm or 13.2mm banksticks, I've added a bushing STL file (Nylon or PETG with 100% infill is recommended; PLA won't work). The long bars can be stored in your holdall, while the short ones with blocks attached fit into a bag. The rodpod consists of: * Knobs (4x) + (8x) * Material: PETG or PLA * Hex head cap bolts (M8 x 30 mm, 12x) * Grind the bolts down to make them stick out of the plastic, 16mm for (8x) and 19mm for (4x). Use water to cool when grinding with a knob attached to prevent melting. I used knobs from Funbart (red PLA) and Tomarppe. You can also use my new knob available on Thingiverse. Blocks (4x) * Material: Nylon, PC, PETG, ABS, or PLA * PC and Nylon are the strongest options. * For a closed printer, you can use ABS with aceton to smooth it for added strength. * I painted my blocks (PETG) with epoxy for extra durability. PETG settings: * Extrusion multiplier: 1.1 * Temperature: 248C * Bed temperature: 55C * Fan speed: half * Speed: slow, 25mm/sec * Shells: 4 * Infill: 15% (fast honeycomb) * Steps: 0.2 To assemble the blocks, pull the nut into its hole using a long bolt. It's best to push the nut against the "ceiling" of the square hole while screwing it on. Aluminium profile: * Square: 15mm x 15mm x 1mm (1 meter, 2x; 0.5 meter, 2x) * Hammer metal paint A stronger option is 15mm x 15mm x 1.5mm aluminium, which I reinforced with blocks for both 1mm and 1.5mm tube thickness. Tube reinforcement (8x) * Material: PETG or PLA * Glue them in with Henkel Loctite 401 Multi-Purpose Super Strong glue Instant Adhesive - 20g (available on Ebay for $2.38). M8 Nut (12x) * A normal hexagon M8 nut, thickness 6.3mm You'll need an extra nut per knob if you use Knob_M8-locknut_loose.stl. The rodpod is a project by Boiliemix-berekenen.nl.
