Tentacle Topper ($7 Cane/Walking Hiking Sticks)

cults3d

Topper ($7 Cane/Walking Hiking Sticks) I've included a Complete file that will require massive supports. I think the Left/Right files will print without supports, or supports touching build plate if you want the cane hole to be perfect. Thingiverse won't let me designate the source files any longer, so to give credit: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759664 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4822459 If you want to make a taller stick/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 an awesome solid oak cane / walking stick for about $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 – about $4 for 4 of them. Links below are just for your reference 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 Or, if you want to print your own tip, you can customize one here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4116507 The topper .stl file is sized for the 1” dowel if printed at 100%. If you want to use for a different size stick – just adjust accordingly. I have included the sizing-ring.stl (a small cross-section of the 1" topper) for this. It is a quick print to get the correct percentage adjustment if you are trying to size to a different pole/cane size. 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 to the finished dowel (sand and clear coat)with desired 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 awesome walking stick – or more if you are into collecting as I will be doing a lot of these. If you like this remix, check out the original models listed in the left sidebar.
