Nightwing Escrima Sticks

thingiverse

I'm currently upgrading these staffs to improve their strength and appearance, so designs may change. This is a Nightwing staff design I created, inspired by wizzardofboz's Nightwing escrima sticks. Their design was very cool, but not strong enough or large enough for my needs, so I redesigned them to create these current models. I replaced the stick aspect of their design with a PVC tube (approximately 20 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter) and thoroughly wrapped it in electrical tape (black and blue) with alternating bands of color to replicate Nightwing's staffs. The actual 3D models are the three pieces I printed to create the electric topper of the staff: a black top with a Nightwing logo, an inner blue insert, and a black body. I combined these pieces with the PVC tube (attached by an interference fit - adding more tape makes it tighter) to get my results. This comes together to look like Nightwing's iconic staffs.
