Free Alien Xenomorph Topper ($7 Cane/Walking Hiking Sticks)

I'm always on the lookout for unique items, which is why I've created over 200 Buddha remixes. Recently, I stumbled upon cane/walking stick toppers that caught my attention and sparked an idea for a new collection of remixes - and the finished sticks. For under $7, you can create a solid oak cane/walking stick. Along with your chosen printed topper, you'll need a 1" oak dowel from Home Depot (about $6) and four 1" rubber leg tips (around $4). Below are some links for reference: * 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 designed for a 1" dowel when printed at 100%. If you want to use it on a different size stick, simply adjust accordingly. I print my toppers with 20% infill and then coat them with a 2-part epoxy resin for a deep gloss and added strength. You can find the resin on Amazon: * https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BM9LHRB To complete your project, simply print the topper, glue it to the finished dowel (which should be sanded and coated), and secure it with your preferred adhesive. I personally use some of the 2-part resin I've mixed up for the final coat. With this method, you'll end up with an impressive walking stick - or multiple sticks if collecting is your thing, just like me.
