OZtrail Tent Pole End Cap

We keep getting asked about this one — the tent pole end cap is one of those OZtrail parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break

Pole end caps split and poles chew through canvas. Vibration and repeated use do the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.

How we reproduce them

The process is simple: drop the part in or send clear photos with a ruler in frame, we confirm fit details, and print replacements — often with a little extra material where the original always cracked.

We print these in TPU. TPU is flexible and grippy, so it absorbs the impacts and vibration that crack rigid plastics, and it is kind to the surfaces it touches.

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.
