Description
This rear or lower grip for a fishing rod. I used it on a 7wt. switch rod. It has an internal diameter of 9.5 mm and a maximum outer diameter of 93 mm. It has an overall length of 102 mm. I suggest printing it using a “fuzzy skin” feature in your slicer to hide layer lines and help give it a more cork-like look and feel. I also changed the colors of the filament during printing to make it look more like a commercial cork grip. Use a somewhat flexible and heat resistant filament like PETG for best results. By adjusting the scale of the file in your slicer, you should be able to change the internal diameter to fit several rod blank diameters.
