Ice fishing rod

The assembly features a 3.41:1 gear reduction ratio and a basic ratchet mechanism. Print out one of each STL files available. Some components demand support structures (about 1.3 times layer height). Furthermore, you will need the following additional parts: one 623 bearing, four 625-2RS ball bearings, some bolts, nuts (metric M3, M4, M5), washers, and a soft rod end. For optimal UV resistance, use PETG plastic; however, other plastics could also work. Additionally, you will require a spring with a diameter of approximately 9 mm and a height of about 12 mm to function the ratchet mechanism properly. If you have different springs on hand, simply modify the ratchet() module in the rod.scad file accordingly.
