3D Printed Fishing Pole Holder

Follow these instructions well to make a 3-D Printed Fishing Pole Holder.

Measure the diameter of the base of the fishing pole.

Measure the length of the persons forearm (for the cuff).

Change dimensions as needed.

Save the new file as an STL.

Using a 3-D printer, print each piece of the fishing pole holder.

Using a heat-gun or water, thermoform the cuff to desired shape.

Using a heat-gun or water, thermoform the z-piece around fishing pole securing it in place. Pay special attention to ensure that the holes on the z-piece align with the holes on the base of the cuff. Feel free to use screws, pins, or anything else to keep the two pieces aligned.

Place fishing rod in the basin on the cuff.

Cover the rod with the z-piece and secure it in place with screws.

If rod is not tightly secured, drill a screw through the bottom of the rod through the base of the cuff.

Put padding on the inside of the cuff, as to not cause any irritation to the skin.

Loop velcro through the cuff to be used to secure the cuff to the arm.

Go fish.
