FPV Pool Noodle Gate Connector

thingiverse

Connector to screw two pool noodles together to built a FPV gate. Screws into pool noodle ends permanently and provides unscrewing via M8 bolt between the pool noodles. Even though M8 thread is already included in print I usually re-cut it with thread cutter M8 and glue the bolt into one of the connectors so it will not get lost. When unscrewing the gates make sure to grip/compress the area around the connector tightly on the first turns to avoid unscrewing the connector from the noodle itself and only unscrew the M8 bolt... For a full gate you need: 2 x pool noodle of your cryzy color of choice 2 x printed noodle connector 1 x ~35-38mm M8 bolt / threaded bar 2 x tent sakes some gaffer tape to fix the stakes to the noodles Prints in PLA without support and 0.3mm layer hight on my Ender 5. Medium Infill is good but 3-4 perimeters are recommended. Small raft is recommended if you encounter adhesion issues Have fun and happy racing :-)
