Description
I wanted to improve this joint component for a better fit on rods.
This thing has an internal taper which allows you to slide the rod in straight for a certain distance, then it tapers towards the top for a tighter friction fit.
There is now an opening in the top, so that if you want to fasten your rod into the sleeve, you can easily just poor a bit of epoxy into the opening. The exposure to air should make for a better epoxy cure than if there were no hole.
This one mates perfectly with this other thing: thingiverse.com/thing:8130
The two combined form a fairly tight joint with very little wiggle.

Instructions
1) Print as many as you need
2) Slip onto end of rod
3) Rejoice!
If you want a more permanent fit, then pour a little epoxy into the top of the fitting.
The default size is for a 5/16" rod, but it will likely work with a M8 rod as well. Of course the OpenScad is parameterized, so you can just change the diameter to whatever you want and print your own sizes.
