Ice fishing enthusiasts take note! Here's a crucial tip to maximize your next catch with 1nxtmonster's incredible Fully Printable Fishing Rod (check it out at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:896767). To set up this ultimate ice fishing rig, follow these easy steps: **Print It Out** You'll need to print three essential parts: * The Base * The Sled * The Holder Don't forget two Fulcrum Caps – you'll need those later. **Clean Up and Assemble** Tidy up the Sled and Holder so they fit together smoothly. Position them on the base, making sure everything is balanced just right. Next, attach the Fulcrum Caps to keep the pivot in place. **Get Your Line Ready** Insert your rod into the back receiver of the Holder, thread your line through, and tie it securely. Now drill a hole for your hook and drop it in. Finally, add a bell to your rod – and don't forget that cold beer! **Customize It** If you're feeling adventurous, download the Sketchup files included with this design and modify them to suit your unique needs. **Print Settings** To get the best results, use these settings: * Printer: Makerfarm6 / AlumiKludge3000 * Rafts: None * Supports: Yes (for a stable open-end cradle) * Resolution: 0.2mm * Infill: 25% **Tips and Tricks** Print the Holder with supports, but make sure it's facing long-side up for optimal stability. Happy printing, and may your next fishing trip be filled with excitement and a big catch!
