I came across this idea online, but the models are my own design.

After using them, I personally would have preferred them to be a little thicker (around 4-5mm), but it\u2019s not necessary. I put them into rather hard ground with all my weight (120kg\u2014yes, the irony of ultralight hiking) and they didn\u2019t break.

To create them, you'll need the following additional parts:

Carbon fiber rods (I used 3mm x 50mm ones)
Starlock washers (I bought an assortment of them)
1 x 4-5mm nut for assembly

Both of these can be easily obtained from Amazon or AliExpress.

To assemble, you'll need to 3D print the push rod and end cap. I highly recommend printing the end cap in a bright color so you don\u2019t lose it in the grass. I printed mine in PETG, and the rod in ABS, but the material choice is not critical.

Safety Precautions:

Carbon fiber materials are toxic\u2014protect your eyes and lungs. Use water to limit dust exposure.
Be cautious when handling the thin rod to avoid puncturing your hand. Proceed at your own risk.

Assembly Process:

Cut the carbon fiber rod in half.
Prepare the washer: Place the nut on the table, and put a 3mm washer on top of it.
Insert the rod: Press the rod onto the washer and clamp it down (I used quick-release clamps) so the washer is firmly seated. The table serves as a stop, and the nut limits how deep the washer can go. It\u2019s advisable to immobilize the setup.
Attach the end cap: Slide the end cap toward the end of the rod. Place another washer on the end of the rod, then use the push rod and a clamp to drive the washer to the end, securing the end cap.
Sharpen the rod: Finally, sharpen the carbon fiber rod with a file.
