Thingiverse is still broken and not showing images in the listing pages. You can view images of my recent Things here: https://tinyurl.com/y4redcxv or this Video: https://youtu.be/1YSPvfeA49I I like to collect unusual things, hence the 200+ Buddha remixes I have done. I came across some cane / walking stick toppers that I thought would make a great collection of remixes (and the finished sticks). 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 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 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.
