Replacement A16 A17 Rod brackets

[Rick]

I remade these rod holders so that they can be printed laying flat. Mine are cracking along the layer lines since the part was originally printed vertically.

I copied Andrews original design and split the top and bottom apart so you can print them large flat sides down.


I haven't tested them yet as mine are still holding together. But, I suspect that they will fail sooner or later.

Anyway they are up on Thingiverse, let me know if you use them and how they work for you.

The same thing has sort of happened with mine, PETG is much more forgiving. So it's more of a stretch as opposed to splitting. Will keep these handy when the time comes.

Great idea, Rick. I think I'll have to print these out just in case. I've been lucky and haven't had any splitting. PETG seems like a filament choice too.
