Description
Purchased a polish horseshoes game online but it only comes with a stake option for grass/sand. Living in the city, I'm not surrounded by much grass so I decided to make an option for flat standing feet.
Printed in PLA with 15% gyroid infill with a modifier around the hole set to 99% infill, no supports necessary. You can print it in something stronger/more UV resistant like ASA but may need to scale it up slightly to account for shrinkage or simply edit the step file to your liking (note: the ID being slightly oversized should be OK since there is a snap in pin that locates the pole). You may need the help of a pen or the bottom of the original stake to push the pin out (remove feet) as I made that area slightly thicker [than the very thin injection molded original] to try to keep it robust enough that it won't break.
Stands great on its own but have not tested in application yet. Once I play a few games there may be some updates, but for now it seems to tip with a little force which I feel like is optimal. Let me know if you end up using it and have any recommendations, specifically on foot length, stability, durability etc.
