Stylized Wolf Topper ($7 Cane/Walking Hiking Sticks)

thingiverse

This is a unique cane topper compared to the others I've done before. In this case, a 1" dowel slides up inside the actual model. The complete file will require supports - only for his chin and the top of the recess. I have also included Left/Right files if you want to print without supports and glue together. If you wish to create a taller stick or staff, grab my 1" cane coupler from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3810485 Also, check out my 1" wall mount clips for displaying your canes/sticks: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3845550 You can make a fantastic solid oak cane/walking stick for around $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 – approximately $4 for four of them. Links below are just references 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 when printed at 100%. If you want to use it for a different size stick, simply 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 preferred 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 amazing walking stick – or more if you're into collecting, like me. I've designed hundreds of remixes.
