2 Inch Chain Link Fence Base/Stand/Flange for Concrete Floor Bolt and Screw Installation

So. First off, this print is not for the faint of heart (I mean, mine was faint, and it turned out freak'n awesome); What I mean is, it takes 550+kg of filament (over half a spool), so if your settings are "usually working" etc etc, you're going to be sad if it screws up halfway through.

I'm installing this prior to the well-below-0 temperatures outside. The location is one that never gets sun, so I'm not worried about it melting or whatnot. It was printed at 50% infill, with CUBIC set at the infill type; sucker is a tank.

It's meant to take a 2 inch pole. You can send the pole through the concrete that is already there by using a cement hole saw. If you decide to just put it in the flange (like I plan to do) just make absolutely sure you're securing the top to something (mine is against a house, which is why I dare do this out of PLA).

I'll return and report my results when a few months have gone by!

NOTE: I printed this at 99% -- you might get away with 98%. I would print the first layer (or at least abort the print after the center circle has been printed) and slide it over your pole to ensure a correct fit. 99% scale leaves room for it to spin and slide (in case you have some bends in the pole), but 98% or even 97% would mean wedging it on (which might be ideal for your situation). Again, print the first layer and go check it out.
