Ended
- 1/8” inch in diameter
- one end will screw into a plastic wall that is .25 inch wide (bottom) part
- so length of this threaded area should be about .2 inches long (yellow area in image)
- the other end will taper into a round dome (top part in image)
- the largest length of pole, when fully extended will be .875 inches (7/8”) long
- the shortest length when fully compacted, will be .4375 inches (or something close to that) (7/16inches)
- the apparatus will be 1/8” long (grey area in image)
- the diameter will be slightly wider than general pole diameter
- apparatus will have largest diameter
- then base pole will have smaller diameter
then extension pole will have smaller diameter
threaded area should have same diameter as extension pole
- I have to be able to 3D print it
I am also extending the contest for another 10 days, mainly because I am free during the weekends to effectively be able to communicate wit the designers.
Thank you all for your great designs and input.

Do you interested in some other manufacturing processes? Metal machining is definitely realistic.

With the base pole being .125" in diameter, with a .030" wall thickness, the inner pole will only be .020" allowing for clearance.
The base pole need to be 3/16" minimum.
Threads can&;t be 3d printed, they need to be post process tapped.
