TrailBuddy Hiking Pole and Accessory Holder

The TrailBuddy hiking poles came with a very flimsy holder, and it required the various end cup-things to just be loose in the bag it came with.  This annoyed me, so I designed this.  I wanted a more secure holder, cup storage, and preferably to fit in the bag it came with.  I think this satisfies all the requirements.  The poles snap in and are retained more strongly than before, they are prevented from twisting relative to each other (they stay parallel), the cups screw on for storage when not in use, and it still fits into the bag.

Also, while trying to correct the wrist straps, I damaged the strap; the hole in it used to attach to the wedge became too loose.  I printed an alternate wedge to fix it.  This should be more secure because the strap is sandwiched between the parts instead of being riveted on.  You'll need an M3x8mm flat-head machine screw, and a square M3 nut.

I designed this using Onshape. I set the total height to 250mm, because its nearly as long as the top pole section, it was a nice round number, and it fit on my printer.  I think most ender3-sized printers can print that tall, but barely.  If you'd like a shorter version, LMK, and I can export a shorter one, or feel free to remix it yourself.

ASSEMBLY

Pole Holder

The threaded posts should friction fit into the square holes on the sides of the holder.  I used a little bit of superglue to make sure they don't come loose.  Depending on your printer's tolerances, you might have to file/sand to get a good fit.  I would recommend dry-fitting first.

Strap Wedge

First, determine the required orientation of the straps; it loops over, so you have to install it backwards/upside-down.  Relative to the correct final installation orientation, install it with the screw head facing up, and the nut facing down.  then install the strap back into the handle.

PRINTING

I oriented the small flat side on the print bed.  you could probably print on a different side, but you'd likely have some gnarly supports.  Speaking of supports, I used standard Cura supports everywhere.  You may not need this if you have really good bridging.  I also used a fairly wide (25mm) brim.  I used ABS, but i'm guessing PLA or PETg would also work fine.

The posts were printed with the little square peg facing up.

For the rest of the print settings, just use whatever works best for you.
