Hiking pole endcap with ring

prusaprinters

<p>After losing endcaps on my hiking poles, I decided to just print replacements, so I can just print another when I invariably lose them again. To help reduce the chance, I added a hoop onto them to clip them with a carabiner to my pack when I'm using the poles.</p> <p>These are 13mm opening, tapering to 12mm. That gives them pretty good grip, when printed with TPU, on my poles, which have 12mm diameter tips.</p> <p>If your poles have tips that are smaller/bigger, using the scaling feature in your slicer should let it be adjusted to the right size with a little bit of math.</p> <p>These may work printed in something slightly flexible like PETG, but a high-shore flex filament like TPU is probably better. ABS and PLA, I doubt they'll hold strongly enough to keep them on.</p> Category: Outdoor & Garden
