Fishing Rod Carrier / Holder v1

Version 1 of my 6 rod carrier. This version is simpler than v2, but takes longer to print the main body and uses more material, however there is less assembly in v1. V2 has more assembly, but uses less material overall and has larger rod tubes.

Check out version 2 here.
 

Version 1:

This is a rod carrier/rack that can accommodate up to 6 spinning and/or baitcast rods. 

The handle is offset forward for better balance when loaded up.

Can be used for transport, as a stand with the legs, or as a rack for vertical storage.

The legs can be stored inside the rack for convenience.
 

The attached profile is set up for PLA+ - but ASA or ABS is strongly recommended if this will be used in the harsher outdoor conditions.

Printing with ABS:

------------------------------------------------------------

• Filament settings:
  • Choose Bambu ABS @BBL X1C Profile
    • Under filament tab:
      • Textured PEI Plate Temperature:
      • Increase "Initial Layer" to 100°C
      • Increase "Other Layers" to 100°C
      • Increase Nozzle temperature for initial layer from 260°C to 270°C
      • All other settings in this tab leave as default
    • Under Cooling tab make the following changes:
      • No cooling for the first (4) layers.
      • Max fan speed threshold: Fan speed (30%)
      • Keep fan always on (no)
      • Fan speed for overhangs: 30%

Before printing:

• Move the bed to around the middle of the z axis.
• Set the bed temperature to 100°C and leave it there until the chamber temperature is approximately 45°C or higher
• >45°C temperature must be maintained throughout printing. 

• An enclosure is not necessary, especially if the ambient room temperature is not too cold, but an enclosure definitely helps.

   

This is what's worked for me so far. The first few times I tried ABS, I had warping and adhesion issues. Since using these settings, I haven't had any problems printing with ABS at all, though I've only printed with Bambu ABS and Creality ABS, no other brands. Your results may still vary.
