Carrying all the gear I have to carry between me and my kids, I was needing a solution to keep the gear from falling out of my arms. Looking into solutions already on the market, I was determined not to pay exorbitant prices for cheap plastic, so of course I decided to design my own. I was also less than satisfied with some options of existing printable designs out there that did not fully secure the poles into the strap. My design criteria was this:
Must be able to print on most printers (even smaller ones)
No assembly required. Must be usable off the print bed
No supports
Must fully secure the poles so they cannot just pop out
I had to try a few different approaches but finally landed on V3. Trust me, V1 and V2 are not worth posting. I'm open to making further updates based on feedback. I haven't done extensive testing but the few times I have used it have been successful.
I do want to mention that I recognize there's quite a long bridge in the model at the top of the openings. My printer handled it just fine, I anticipate yours will too. No supports needed.
When I used this I realized I could slightly tripod the setup because the poles are strapped in. That was a bonus find. See picture.
I have used just one strap per set of skis/poles, but some may enjoy using 2 per ski setup to keep the poles better locked in.
I printed mine with TPU 95A.
