If images aren't showing on this page, check out my recent things here: https://tinyurl.com/y4redcxv or watch my video: https://youtu.be/EtRb51jdgJ8. To create a taller stick or staff, grab my 1" cane coupler from this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3810485. Also, see my 1" wall mount clips for displaying canes and sticks at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3845550. You can make a fantastic solid oak cane or walking stick for about $7. In addition to the printed topper of your choice, you'll need a 1” oak dowel, which costs around $6 at Home Depot, and a 1” rubber leg tip – approximately $4 for four of them. The links below serve as references so you know what to buy: 1” Oak Dowel: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Builder-s-Choice-1-in-x-36-in-Oak-Round-Dowel-HDDO136/206184686 1” Leg Tip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QD30TE The topper .stl file is sized for the 1” dowel when printed at 100%. If you want to use it with a different size stick, simply adjust accordingly. I print my designs at 20% infill and then paint and coat them with a 2-part epoxy resin to add the deep gloss and strength. You can find this resin on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BM9LHRB Just print the topper, glue it to the finished dowel (which I sand and clear coat), using your preferred adhesive. I simply use some of the 2-part resin I have mixed up for the final topper coat. This will give you an amazing walking stick – or more if you enjoy collecting them as much as I do, since I plan on creating many of these designs.
