Hiking Pole fastening clasp (High Colorado Carbon TI)

thingiverse

Attention! If you're one who actually uses your poles instead of dragging them behind, you know that this could be a safety concern! Be aware of what you do and use those clasps at your own risk. I've had my share of experience with broken clamps after over-tightening in extremely cold weather. I decided to make my own, which turned out great. I immediately preferred the colors available instead of the black ones and made more for all our poles. Make sure to check the print settings for stability! We've tested them extensively without any issues. In fact, they're even tougher than the original PETG ones! Honestly, I'm not sure if our "High Colorado Carbon TI" poles, which we bought at a local outdoor shop for $40, are high-quality or cheap ones. But I've grown to like them and think they're worth keeping around. It's unclear whether these clasps will fit other brands. Check the print settings for stability, as it proved sufficient for us. These clasps were made with PETG from 3DPSp.de, just like all my other printer parts. This material turned out to be excellent to work with - sturdy, no issues with adhesion at all, and really nice colors for a reasonable price.
