I wanted to create something similar to the mechanic from a hiking pole, but wanted it to be fully 3D printed. Thus I came up with this model. The height can be cut to your desired length. I upload the tested STL files.
Assembly:
- Start with models from index 0.
- Put the “Afix” onto the screw of “A”, then insert into the next index of “A”, following the mechanical guides
- Repeat for index 1, 2, …
- Turn the sticks clockwise to fix the sticks to your desired position. Turn the sticks anticlockwise to release them again.
- Exchange “A” for “A_botEnd” or “A_topEnd” when you want to have the bottom base addition or screw at the respecive side.
Example uses:
Print settings:
- 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer, PLA
