Telescopic Fishing Rod V1

This is a work in progress project so the files might get updated. If you test it and have some suggestions please add a make and a comment, I would really appreciate any help.

I started this project as a joke but the rod turned out actually strong (Still in testing so I might be wrong). It survived a full day of fishing, it even survived a snag, I was rocking it back and forth to free the hook and it didn't break.

Checkout LureForge, the beginner friendly lure making app, create your lure, make sure it floats/sinks, and export it as an STL or a 2D template for wood carving.

The weakest part so far is the reel seat, I need to re-think it.

If you have a BambuLab printer use the uploaded 3mf file.

Bodies 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 must be printed horizontally or the rod will be very weak. I print them diagonally to fit the build plate of my P1S, if you wanna do the same, make sure to update the infill and bridging angles in your slicer.

I'm not sure if they will fit on an Ender 3 style printer, if they don't and enough people are interested, I might upload another version for smaller printers.

I used ABS for the important parts (Bodies 2-6) because it bends more than PLA, I'm sure PLA will also work fine.

Will add better assembly instructions later, it's common sense, start by inserting body 3 into body 2 and gluing the line guide, repeat the process for Body 4, 5, and 6.

Glue Body7 into Body2 (make sure that no glue will come near Bodies 3-6).

Glue Body10 to Body7.

And lastly Glue Body 19 to Body10.
