Also, check out my 1" wall mount clips for displaying your canes/sticks: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3845550. You can make an awesome solid oak cane/walking stick for about $7. In addition to the printed topper of your choice, you will need a 1” oak dowel which costs about $6 at Home Depot and a 1” rubber leg tip – about $4 for 4 of them. Links below are just for reference 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 if printed at 100%. If you want to use it for a different size stick, just adjust accordingly. I print at 20% infill and then paint and coat with a 2-part epoxy resin to add the deep gloss and strength. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BM9LHRB Just print the topper, glue it to the finished dowel (sand and clear coat) with your desired adhesive (I just use some of the 2-part resin I have mixed up for the final topper coat). You will end up with an awesome walking stick – or more if you are into collecting like me.
