## ⚠ CRITICAL PRINT INSTRUCTION: ORIENTATION Do not print this part standing up. Due to the long leverage of a selfie stick acting on the mount, vertical prints will delaminate and snap at the layer lines (I learned this the hard way on the slopes).

  • Correct Orientation: Print the body lying on its side (horizontally). This aligns the filament strands with the stress forces, making the part significantly stronger.

  • Supports: Since it must be printed on its side, you must enable supports (Tree/Organic supports recommended) for the internal threads and clamp teeth.

## Why this Remix? I needed a mount for my 18mm ski poles that could withstand high vibration and sub-zero temperatures. The original design was excellent, but I needed a more robust clamping mechanism and standard hardware compatibility.

## Key Improvements

  • 18mm Fit: Specifically resized and tested for 18mm diameter poles.

  • Structural Reinforcement: Widened the main body walls to prevent cracking in cold weather.

  • Pass-Through Bolts: Converted blind holes to through-holes to allow the use of longer, standard M5 bolts for maximum clamping force.

  • Recessed Nuts: Added slots on the back for nuts to sit flush.

## Hardware Needed

  • 4x M5 Screws (20mm length): Use Countersunk / Flat Head screws.

  • 4x M5 Nuts: Standard 8mm hex width.

## Recommended Print Settings (For Snow Use) To ensure this mount survives a crash or heavy carving:

  • Material: ASA or ABS-GF (PETG is the minimum; avoid PLA as it shatters in the cold).

  • Orientation: Horizontal (Lying on side) - Non-negotiable for strength.

  • Walls/Perimeters: 6 Loops (Strength comes from walls, not infill).

  • Infill: 40% Gyroid.

  • Supports: Yes (Slim Tree supports work best for cleaning out the threads afterwards).

  • Brim: Recommended (10mm) to prevent warping on the side contact surface.

## Assembly

  1. Insert the M5 nuts into the recessed slots.

  2. Clamp the mount onto the pole.

  3. Tighten the screws in a star pattern to distribute pressure evenly.
