This is a cover for an exposed T-Post.  This helps to mitigate getting impaled or injured by falling on it.  T-Posts are a general tool to help create fencing for livestock, support grape trellises, general farm and garden stuff, etc… They can pose a hazard during farming if one falls on one, a serious injury can occur. During installation the top of the T-Post often gets deformed by pounding the T-Post into the ground thus any solution has to adapt to this variable.  This cover fits regular(1.25lb/ft) and heavy duty(1.33lbs/per) US T-posts. These typically sale in the store for around $1-$1.50 US dollars each.  These were made for around $0.40 US dollars each. 

The material for the T-Post Cover is Prusament Orange PETG printed at:

  • 0.3mm layer height
  • 30% infill
  • 2 Shells thick
  • Gyroid infill

 

Example: Malformed T-Post top.

Covered!

 

Example: Portion of the top has fractured leaving an irregular shape.

 

Covered!

T-post fence line covered!

No more worry about impaling myself or others  :)

 

Future Versions:

  • Nothing to change right now. I am going to test them through the winter and revise them as needed. Unless anybody has any suggestions and/or feedback for changes.
