This is a simple solution to issues associated with trying to push small aluminium tent stakes into the ground - and getting your palms cut due to small surface area of the stake, or deforming them if using a hammer. This simple tool increases the surface area making it easy to drive the stakes even into tough ground. Lanyard hole for small diameter reepschnur/cord will make it more difficult to lose :)
This part is not meant to be secured to a single stake permanently! Load a stake, push it into the ground with your palm (or hammer), take the handle off the stake, load another stake, rinse & repeat! Carry just one in your stake bag, and use until it breaks :)
Should fit majority of triangular (3 sides) stakes supplied with current tents. The tolerances are quite loose to make it easy to fit uneven/damaged stakes as well. Have different stakes? Hit me up with the dimensions, I will be happy to remake this model to fit yours as well.
I've uploaded .3mf file that includes the lanyard hole and an infill modifier - that makes the central part of the handle completely solid (100%) so that it can be used to withstand hammer blows should you need them (see pictures)
Print in PETG (ASA could work as well), at 20% infill or more, >3 perimeters. I printed it with a 0.6 nozzle
