I'm a cane user and pretty much as soon as I saw this cane that @soupdwelling designed based on the cane Grace has in the book I knew I had to have it.
I'm still learning how to 3D model so it took me about two days to model it and then a good day to print all the parts and then assemble. The painting took about 5.5 hours over two weeks; 2 hours for each of the patterned bits and the rest of the time was spent layering the paint for the solid colour bits and painting the charms for the handle.
This is definitely more of a for show cane than a useable one just because of the material and way the parts are connected. But I am going to make a useable one. Next steps are to alter the file so that I can have a solid dowel through the middle for strength, to make sure that I can print the handle in TPU rather than PLA, and to make space in the feet to insert proper rubber cane feet! When I make that one I'll be buying the appropriate colours of filament so I don't have to hand paint it all or worry about the paint scratching off.
This was so so much fun to make and I can't wait to get started on a useable one!!
(The St Christopher charm that I found didn't print well at the scale I needed it to so I designed a simple 'Grace Rocky save stars' charm instead. The fox file was made by Duo3Dprint on Makerworld.)
