Gasmate Swag Pole Joiner
Spares support for older Gasmate products is patchy at best. Reproducing the swag pole joiner locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Pole joiners crack at the spigot. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
We print these in PA-CF. Carbon-fibre nylon is the strongest material we run — it goes into parts that carry real load, where a lesser plastic would be the next thing to break.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
