Description
Wanted to make one of those extendable pointing fingers going around, but couldn't find a proper one.
So I decided to make it on my own, it extends up to 60 cms and is quite sturdy when done so.
Simple to assemble, print each part, slide the rods into each other, put the cap on the bottom and the finger and the top, and enjoy!
Not much to say here except:
The rods are best printed together as it takes less time due to minimum layer time.
Zero supports needed
I've tested it with PLA but PETG should be fine too or even better.
This was printed at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle
