Description

🧰🧩 Smart Prints for Real Problems — With Style!

This model isn’t just cool to look at—it’s built to work. Designed with purpose, tested for fit, and optimized for clean printing. Whether you're organizing, upgrading, or just tinkering, you're in for a satisfying print!

The Rod Buddy is a two-piece fishing rod holder built for anglers on the move. 🥾 Whether you're hiking to your favourite local spot or packing your gear for the off-season, the Rod Buddy keeps your rods secure and tangle-free — with the reel and lure still attached! 🎣✅

It’s designed for convenience and peace of mind:

✅ Floats — perfect for shorelines, docks, or boats 🚤🌊
🪢 Paracord loop on the back lets you clip it to a carabiner for easy storage when not in use 🔗🧳

🛠️ Print Notes:

The Rod Buddy is made to be printed in AMS-compatible TPU for flexibility and durability. The main body can be printed in PET-G, but the bottom section MUST be printed in TPU to provide the flex needed to safely grip your rod without damage.

📄 Instructions for use are included in the documentation.
Tight lines! 🎯🐟
