Pool Umbrella Stabilizer Sleeve Reducer Adapter Basketball The standard AquaStar 5" SMUSxxx umbrella stand sleeve fits a pole diameter of 1.675”. I made an adapter reducing the hole size to 1.5”, plus a little 1.0mm wiggle room. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/adapter1.jpg" width="500"> </p> <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/adapter5.jpg" width="500"> </p> We have six umbrella sleeves which work great for placing umbrellas around the pool to get shade. However, if the umbrella pole size isn’t 1.675” they can get a little wobbly. This isn’t a big problem with umbrellas, but if we wanted to mount other accessories we needed an adapter. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/hoop.jpg" width="500"> </p> I found several budget basketball hoops (affiliate links below) with 1.5” center poles and wanted to see if I could design an adapter with my limited 3d modeling skills. Finding the AquaStar dimensions on the vendor site and using Fusion 360 to model was pretty straightforward. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/fusion360_2.jpg" width="200"> </p> [AquaStar 5" SMUSxxx dimensions](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v6fxkOUY6CqRlrdVL77kwJ0uQke8tmdX/view) (make sure you have the same one): <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/aquastar_smusxxx_dimensions.jpg" width="500"> </p> Using the following conversion chart, adding 1.0mm to the Inner Diameter (ID), and subtracting 0.1mm to the Outside Diameters (OD) for tolerance. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/conversion_chart.jpg" width="500"> </p> It took me a few revisions but only about 30-60min of time invested modeling in Fusion 360. The shape is overall very simple only being a few circles extruded to different lengths, and a few filets to polish it off. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/adapter4.jpg" width="500"> </p> I personally wanted to use the adapter for a cheap basketball hoop I found online which had a 1.5" pole. I had no intention to use the base or bottom poles. I've found a few others online that will probably also work (affiliate links below). As long as the pole measures 1.5" it should work. <p align="center"> <img alt="" src="https://www.ntalekt.com/stuff/hoop_dimensions.jpg" width="500"> </p> - Basketball hoop - Clear backboard - eBay (the one I purchased): [Link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/134555028805?amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAkKMkeJZ6XMdldv4VGWVoUs3nSce%2FPAPFAnrIJBUCJUFzaBQXCyUg2LwJygBLjBV0WdJZZNnf%2Bm33AFjcHcNDMpgISClfqPio6wskZgtjXo1UQQfPRwzwxKsa3Qg9oPL1NTOC7Y1Qvd8UEJkXonyvifejfyjWB5j5Gnt1l7WgCJTMlsKANxCVW7LNFdMTiiEV5Q%3D%3D&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338989875&customid=clearbackboardpurchased&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) - eBay: [Link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/165996163854?amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAkAV24sztK0YPepa2BhL3oY7makpSjSmILKdlK79K0U43jhMvlxnrJZ4wxXVKeEYqUcQCyWiuDEk3mMbztz4HiJ%2Bt9fqNDmBLOepCPksnuFZVQeN%2FI8paNQdS0A9tHdupIxMFcyp%2B8h8zDiLt5P4JEQuB905XeQOjTNKK%2FBq%2B2pkNAWCFInoKmhDEoIkk1G5Isg%3D%3D&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338989875&customid=whitebackboard&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) - Amazon: [Link](https://amzn.to/3C5mHvi) - White backboard - Amazon: [Link](https://amzn.to/3INKfIG) - eBay: [Link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/202494738100?amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAkCbneWVn9dBQxJVSCfh5zzXzz9%2F%2F%2FRsW1RXXJMJPHKs9NqkkyAosI5wm2pDSc3jbO2dfHf31GVvotKiTlU2qCuXQsMM%2FJPkiD52NpgUtc%2Bi3omDgyB0HMPn9vRcF5cxFNXCKEZ3l3qaAOliWSsydAmdbrxEH9FL%2B06u7Y0CzCVyeRcvbQKO5kJx%2Fofs54aedCA%3D%3D&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338989875&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) - AquaStar 5” umbrella sleeve - Amazon (multiple colors): [Link](https://amzn.to/3WHtBAc) - eBay (gray): [Link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/115726002754?amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAkAm1lLOVIFiuUv4PPoqWjPGqaVMvLZGlCpJj9eG7AO2Tyj8K%2FiWVVBu6LMWYxrcJIvT8Cvxubz2Vi39jCUr069kPIrWBLyLRF1g3jEYXWzX8eN1f5ixfGgKjVUrD6fupFRfi6Z3HL9HdSQXjZUeS5N37ZioxJF2%2BWcLAiQpLna6ttqPv%2FiDeIaLMcyIFAb3u2g%3D%3D&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338989875&customid=aquastargray&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) - eBay (white): [Link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/115511585050?amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAkFnJAZnohnQTQEWoTgYXgAYB%2FuqwDJm3GRAJ4z%2BpWysJt%2BBdiFxaGoIOawqeLxGW0I%2BShHb%2BbBOAbi49SfKoA2QtZRomlaFqyEg2J4wF6miGWkRg5OvSDo23p%2Ba3fXTq9Suywu4Z6lKjA%2FxE0qwSkN6A5HgCC0ww2tm9o6MpI6RR2P9cnjOmfchN7ucU4ePEnw%3D%3D&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338989875&customid=aquastarwhite&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) - Buy me a coffee (omg thanks): [Link](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/38dDqbQjGf) This was printed on my modified [Anycubic i3 Mega](https://amzn.to/3OUdZrg) with a 0.4mm nozzle - 100% infill - 0.2mm layer height - Filament - Testing: Matterhackers Build Series PLA ([Grey](https://www.matterhackers.com/store/3d-printer-filament/175mm-pla-filament-grey-1-kg) / [Royal Blue](https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/royal-blue-pla-filament-175mm/sk/M7M8AN1R)) - Final: Overture PETG ([Light Gray](https://amzn.to/45MAjca) / [Space Gray](https://amzn.to/42nH29R)) Also on Printables: [https://www.printables.com/model/495325-pool-umbrella-stabilizer-sleeve-reducer-adapter-ba](https://www.printables.com/model/495325-pool-umbrella-stabilizer-sleeve-reducer-adapter-ba)
