Drillin' like a villain
3d printed DIY quad sticks
- Thread starter takbok
- Start date
Carbon sticks prototype assembled. Couple of small tweaks to do to complete them. I'm waiting for screws to secure the clip that holds the legs together hence why they're slightly splayed in photos.
Under 600g for 6ft3 version should make them the lightest available quad sticks with yokes.
I'm really proud of how they've turned out after all the work I've put in. See below showcased with my homemade carbon fibre rifle stock.
(Wet sanding with some 600grit sandpaper will knock the shine off for a beautiful satin finish).

The inertia is high after a few days of printer sitting idle. I'll try and ramp up production tomorrow to get a few sets ready for next week.
Take down system concept with 11.7mm x 10mm tube spigot glued inside one end of the join (14 x 12mm main tubes). 3d printed square connectors glued in each end containing 6mm x 6mm magnets with 4kg+ force.

Hi,
Could I please put my Name down for a set of the Garden cane set please.
If I have pre existing set made out of garden canes would the height need changing?
Many thanks

I have a set here. You can make them any height you like. I'm sure you could use your existing canes. I'll send you a pm.
That's brilliant a unique selling point.

That is a cracking idea.
There's a set waiting. Send me a pm with your postage details and which set you'd like and I'll sort it out.

Absolute Game-Changer – Cheers @takbok
Just gotta say a massive thanks to @takbok for the 3D-printed quad stick kit.
You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The inserts fit like a glove, and the instructions made putting it together are very easy. Once it’s all set up, the sticks are light and compact, easy to carry, and deployed into place in seconds.
The geared yoke and rest are what makes the sticks rock-steady, way better than anything designed before. Best bit, I took apart the canes I already had set up as quad sticks, trimmed them down and re used the canes.
Seriously, if you’re still on the fence, just grab a set you won’t regret it. Top work @takbok , cheers for an awesome bit

Thanks @Fin_Bainbridge ! I don't get a lot of feedback - I'm delighted that they work so well for you.
Oh yes you do...they are very well made also a keen price.
Have you any available? Thanks
I should have some ready in about 10 days.
Hi @takbok Did you ever make the 3D files available by any chance? Thank you
No problem, 2m is what you need. Here are the assembly instructions showing lengths:
Yes I'm happy to share them for personal use only - send me a pm with your email address.
