A few pommels for mountaineering ice axes. As with all things mountaineering, use at your own risk! I'm printing these in ASA and other versions in TPU for exposure testing in the mountains of Colorado. 

These models would probably need thicker side walls for TPU 

I printed everything in ASA with 6 walls and 50% gyroid infill. For the low profile insert model, I printed with a 10mm brim (which probably wasn't necessary but worked out great). These versions use one 18mm M6 socket head bolt and M6 nut for installation.

My low profile version ASA prints were just flexible enough to install on the shaft by 

I'll be waiting until deep winter to get a little feedback and make some tweaks, so I'll consider these a work in progress for now. If you have ideas or requests please let me know. Thank you for looking!
