The prompt
Design an original kayak fishing rod holder inspired by modern open-style kayak rod holders. Do not copy or reproduce any logos, branding, or proprietary design details. The design should have similar functionality but be an original creation. The rod holder should have a smooth, ergonomic, Y-shaped body with flowing curves and reinforced ribs. The rear should have a deep cylindrical cup approximately 60 mm in diameter and 75 mm deep with a 10 mm drainage hole centered in the bottom. The front should have an open U-shaped cradle approximately 65 mm wide with raised lips on both sides about 18 mm high to keep the rod from bouncing out while still allowing quick removal. The center section should gradually widen and include structural ribs underneath for strength. The holder should tilt using a circular indexed pivot joint approximately 70 mm in diameter. The pivot should lock using a large hand-tightened knob and use a stainless M6 bolt through the center. Below the pivot, create a rotating base that connects to a separate sliding track adapter. Do not model the kayak rail or track itself. Only model the adapter that slides into an existing YakAttack GearTrac/GT90-style track. The adapter should have a standard T-slot foot approximately 12 mm wide and 8 mm tall with rounded edges so it slides into the track, locking in place with a hand-tightened knob. Minimize the number of printed parts. The assembly should consist of only: * Main rod holder body * Rotating base * Sliding track adapter * Locking knob Use standard stainless M6 hardware for assembly. No unnecessary spacers or decorative parts. Design the entire model for FDM printing in PETG, ASA, or Nylon. Use 4–6 mm wall thickness, generous fillets (3–6 mm), and avoid unsupported overhangs greater than 45°. Strength should be prioritized over appearance. Overall dimensions: * Total height: approximately 280 mm * Overall width: approximately 180 mm * Overall depth: approximately 120 mm
