Alpine Ski Pole Guard / Slalom Ski Pole Guard

thingiverse

This is a ski pole guard for Alpine Ski Racing / Slalom Ski Racing. I made this for my son's ski poles. Use M5 screws with threadlock nuts for construction 25 mm should do it. Holes are 3 mm's. I designed this guard to accommodate an 18mm diameter ski pole. Can be scaled or adjusted for smaller or larger diameter poles. Clearance is 150 mm, 200 mm in length. Print with support at desired angles for best print. I rotated mine to accommodate my printer. Designed in FreeCAD, adjustments made in Sketchup. Should be manifold. UPDATE: I printed mine in PETG the first time around. My walls weren't melting into each other and as a result the build was brittle I've since made adjustments to correct for this but haven't reprinted these yet. My son smashed both of his today on slalom poles in 30 degree F weather. ABS may be a better material to use if you have a good setup for printing that material.
