Replacement Cap for Green Mountain Fly Rod Tube

thingiverse

Replacement rod tube cap for the 'vintage' Orvis Green Mountain series of fly rods. While the rod tubes have held up over the years, the plastic retention tabs are starting to break off. Printed in PLA, these seem to work well for me. They print fine 'top down' without supports. Since the layer lines will be perpendicular on the retention tab, I would refrain from pushing too hard (it is not needed anyway). If you have issues or want to print in a 'stronger' material you may want to apply some more reinforcement behind the tab. I found ASA broke off quickly at the base of the tab in the current design. Fusion model provided.
