Trekking Pole / Hiking Stick Replacement Foot

Replacement rubber feet for your hiking sticks (trekking poles). Probably wont last for long if you keep them on for walking, but they do protect eyes and other gear.

Default values are set for Leki carbon/titanium hiking poles.

I added two little features with respect to the original.

The customizer should work (I tested the interface, but did not generate the object). Make sure that hole + extra hole is smaller than height. Walls can be made thinner or fatter than the default.

Print Settings

Printer:

Felix Pro 2

Rafts:

No

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.35mm

Infill:

7 to 30

Filament: SunLu TPU

Notes:

Depending on how flexible you want this to be you can change the infill from little to 35%

The biggest problem with TPU filament is underextrusion. There are three strategies that help:

Print slower Print hotter Set extrusion higher. My solution for a fairly clean and fast 0.35mm layer print with a cheap Sunlu TPU (Felix Pro 2 printer, with a 0.7 nozzle): 20mm/s speed for everything except the first layer (10mm/s), temperature = 225C, 140% extrusion rate (!!).

Post-Printing

After printing, you can insert a m4 washer into the hole. This may make it last a bit longer.
