Idiot! Snapped tent pole help

In my hasty attempt to setup my Kuiu mountain star tent i snapped one of the carbon fibre pole inserts that connects the poles together-
Would any one know of a solution to fix this or if a company around that could fix it?
Cheers guys!

A photo of the broken part and what it should look like would help for those of us not familiar with Kuiu tents.

I think Twin Neddle can fix it.

There are temporary sleeves that you can use to get you out of a situation, measure the diameter of the pole and buy the correct ones to carry with you. But regarding a permanent repair, I think the best is a replacement pole, some of the Carbon fibre guys may say different, but I think cost would dictate that.

Snapped the male insert inside the female sleeve…..have messaged kuiu but anyone tackled this themselves or reputable nz company that could fix?

Seems like a common theme with those kuiu tents few videos on YouTube about them including one in wapiti ballot that did the same thing

You could try heat shrink over the sleeve to help hold it all together a bit better/longer ? unless it's supposed to come off for transport etc...

Yeah it needs to fold at that point to fit in bag-
Have emailed kuiu hopefully they sell one off replacements that i dont have to re mortgage the house to buy

Email Kuiu directly and see what they can do. Always been great to deal with for me.
