I wanted a lightweight and packable assembly to support an elevated radial for my Buddistick.

I needed a solution which would allow me to use my Buddistick while on the road, which may involve air travel so “spikes” were out of the question. Therefore, I wanted something I wouldn't have to stick into the ground for situations where I want to “leave no trace”. Designed from scratch, I leveraged a tent pole I purchased from Amazon to create this packable elevated radial helper.
All the parts can be printed without supports, although a brim may be needed if you encounter adhesion issues. PETG or other durable filament should be used (not PLA). All of the parts should be printed with solid infill except for the top part which should be no less than 40% infill.
Assembly is simple:
Print Two Pole Ends, Two Pole End Retainers, and One Cap
Pull the shock cord out of one end of the tent poles, and snip off the knot holding the shock cord in place.
From the other end of the tent pole, remove the entire length of the shock cord and cut the shock cord in half (it is enough to put together both sets of poles. Set the end sections of the pole aside (we won't use them for this project), as you want two, three-piece assemblies which are identical.
With a knot tied in the end of one length of shock cord, thread it through the pole end retainer and then in through the non-metal end of the pole section - thread it through three of the pole sections (one at a time is easiest) and then through the pointed pole end (before you attach it to the end of the pole), then adjust to the proper tension in the pole set and tie off a knot - you should now have one assembled section.
Repeat the above process to create the second pole assembly.
At this point you are done! Simply press the ends into the cap and your full assembly is ready to use! The cleats on the cap can be used to tie off the radial wire, or to attach a line to place a weight to tension the radial if desired.
Here is the link for the tent pole from Amazon (8.5' - 8 Section Version):
You shouldn't need it, but here is shock cord which will work as well:
I have tested this unit in the field and it works well at holding the radial above the ground and stretching it out. I may end up tweaking my design as time goes, so follow to get updates. You can use scaling to size it up or down to fit other tent poles, or reach out and I'll share the Tinkercad file with you. For a future iteration, I may make a version with aluminum tubing which would be a standard size - but it's hard to beat the durability of the tent pole design.
