I'm a collector of unusual items, which explains why I've created over 200 Buddha remixes. Recently, I stumbled upon cane and walking stick toppers that caught my attention as great remix opportunities (and finished sticks). With some basic materials, you can craft an impressive solid oak cane or walking stick for under $7. In addition to the printed topper of your choice, you'll need a 1" oak dowel ($6 at Home Depot) and a 1" rubber leg tip ($4 for four). For reference, here are links to purchase these items: * 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 with a different stick size, simply adjust the dimensions accordingly. I print my toppers at 20% infill and then paint and apply a 2-part epoxy resin for a deep gloss and added strength. You can purchase this resin on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BM9LHRB. To assemble your walking stick, simply print the topper, glue it to the finished dowel (sand and clear coat with desired adhesive), and you'll have an amazing walking stick or collection piece.
