FPV Pool Noodle Gate Connector

Connector to screw two pool noodles together to built a FPV gate.
Screws into pool noodle ends permanently and provides unscrewing via M8 bolt between the pool noodles.

Even though M8 thread is already included in print I usually re-cut it with thread cutter M8 and glue the bolt into one of the connectors so it will not get lost.

When unscrewing the gates make sure to grip/compress the area around the connector tightly on the first turns to avoid unscrewing the connector from the noodle itself and only unscrew the M8 bolt...

For a full gate you need:
2 x pool noodle of your cryzy color of choice
2 x printed noodle connector
1 x ~35-38mm M8 bolt / threaded bar
2 x tent sakes
some gaffer tape to fix the stakes to the noodles

Prints in PLA without support and 0.3mm layer hight on my Ender 5. Medium Infill is good but 3-4 perimeters are recommended.
Small raft is recommended if you encounter adhesion issues

Have fun and happy racing :-)
