Free PacMan Topper ($7 Cane/Walking Hiking Sticks)

thingiverse

I'm fascinated by unusual collectibles, which is why I've created over 200 unique Buddha remixes. While browsing, I stumbled upon cane and walking stick toppers that I thought would make an exceptional collection, along with the finished sticks. You can craft an impressive solid oak cane or walking stick for approximately $7. In addition to the customized printed topper of your choice, you'll need a 1” oak dowel, available at Home Depot for around $6, and a set of 4 1” rubber leg tips, costing about $4. For reference, here are some links to help you identify what to purchase: * 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% scale. If you want to use it for a different size stick, simply adjust the dimensions accordingly. I print my toppers with 20% infill and then apply a coat of paint followed by a 2-part epoxy resin to achieve a deep gloss and added strength. Here's the link to the epoxy resin I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BM9LHRB To assemble your walking stick, simply print the topper, attach it to the finished dowel using your preferred adhesive (I prefer 2-part resin for a strong bond), and you'll have an impressive walking stick or a great addition to your collection.
