Description
There I was, with a pool that needs cleaning and a pool pole that can't hold my leaf basket. After maybe 5 years, the plastic wishbone clip had given out and broke. Well, quicker than an Amazon Prime delivery, I whipped up a new wishbone design and printed it.
The new clip fits securely and appears to handle the stresses I apply in my cleaning process. I printed my clip in Poly Carbonate. I expect PETG to be a suitable plastic, too. I wouldn't recommend a PLA plastic; too brittle and unlikely to last long in the sun and the heat.
My print is made in Bambu Lab PC Clear Black 1.75mm filament, with 0.2mm layer height on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer. Print supports are required.
Both a print profile and the individual STL file is included.
I hope that you can find this print useful, too. If so, you can support my work by buying me a coffee …

Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.
UPDATE 1.1
- Updated design to fit more snugly and to have more spring in it.
