This is an adapter to connect a cheap wooden rake handle to irrigation pipe. If you need one you will know what it is for, guesses and comments welcome. It has to be strong as it probably will be stood on, by sheep in my case.

The rake handle is a nominal 25mm diameter with a somewhat conical end. The pipe is nominal 30mm diameter, (really nearer 29mm), heavy wall agricultural irrigation pipe.

Additional parts, 2 x M6 x 50mm bolts, with matching nuts. I use Nylock nuts.

Printing:

Made fairly solid using PETG to hold up to the weather, green to make it hard to find in the grass. The grey was accidental as I ran out of green with two layers to go. The initials were done in the slicer, not in the model. Use support in the large holes, try normal snug.  It needs about 191 grams of filament, including 15 grams for supports.

Assembly:

Push the handle into the socket, and thread it onto the pipe. You may want to put it near a pipe joint, its hard work pushing 100 meters of pipe through. Drill 6.5mm holes for the bolts. Fit and tighten the bolts. Its not rocket surgery!
