Jon boat Push pole end by Wwwes

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is my first post. Made this for myself for inshore fishing from my aluminum jonboat. Attached to a 10 foot long piece of 1 1/4" full round with a stainless steel through bolt or similar hardware, this will keep your push pole from sinking into the mud. Sharpening the other end of the wooden pole will allow it to be used as a mud anchor.
I printed with no brim or raft, with support enabled for the holes to come out clean. I used 5 layers for walls for extra strength and 25% infill, which may be overkill. It took 10 hours printed on fast normal resolution, at 200C with PLA, bed at 60C on an MP mini v2.
update: added a 1.5" diameter pole version for 1.5" full round pushpole. filename is pushpole1_5.stl for this version. it takes a few hours longer to print and uses a fair amound more material.
