Shishi Odoshi "Deer Scarer" Shortened Tube

thingiverse

I HAVEN'T TESTED THIS YET (just a warning) I wanted to make the original Shishi Odoshi by jelson but the tube stands 170 mm tall. My printer only goes up to about 155ish mm so I decided to chop it. Also, I wanted to avoid having to use a really high infill on the base so I made a little pocket between the two parts where I can stash some washers or something else for weighting the tube. I'm going to try using 15% infill. I have no idea if this will work. On a test of my first version, the threads were way too tight to go together so I made the male threads smaller.. **UPDATE** The new threads work fine. After seeing gothicgeek's remix, I decided to try to incorporate their modification to the tube as well. Again, haven't tested yet but it looks like a good idea. I made this in Tinkercad using the original for measurements. I added a filet to the inside of the hollow end. For gothicgeek's mod, I just kinda eyeballed it. When I've actually made the thing, I'll update this when any new info.
