Print in 2 pieces, and they form a splint around the broken section. There's also a slight bulge on the interior to accommodate the broken section because my pole splayed out where it broke.
I printed it with 4 perimeters and solid infil for strength. I added 4 tiny hose clamps after to hold each part aro
