3D Printed Pole/Rod Holder

Well the holders work and look pretty good for a first attempt. The install was really easy and the counter-sunk screws made a solid bite into the fiberglass. I am pleased with the quality of the installation. The install almost did not happen due to a temp MIN/MAX alarm on the 3D printer. I engineered it with all the safety I could muster! Anyway I replaced a thermistor to get it running again and got lucky on saving the print too! These 3D printers are great but you have to always respect hem!

I did not meet two of my goals with this projects due to flaws in my design approach. Mainly a case of the dumbass - moving to fast and not thinking through all the requirements. Version 2 hopefully can be done in the next few weeks.

The brush and anchor pole are perfect! Here’s a video of them snapping in placr

Who cares how much and how long? Its awesome you get to say that you custom designed them for your application and then printed them yourself!

Please don’t get me wrong. I think it’s cool as well. I wish I had the skills and equipment to do that.

Pretty cool.

Starboard is good stuff too! But I am curious to know how you would make Starboard the exact same dimensions?

It would be difficult to get it exact as yours but you could get it pretty close. I’d cut it out on a scroll saw.
