A fully customizable, print-in-place friendly telescopic stick! Whether you want a cool collapsed baton, a long pointer, or just a satisfying fidget toy, this OpenSCAD model lets you generate exactly what you need.

This design uses tapered sections to ensure each stage catches firmly on the next when extended, creating a friction lock.

🎨 Customization Guide

This model is completely parametric. You can adjust:

• cylinder_shape: Change the shape of the stick!
  • 100 = Smooth Cylinder
  • 6 = Hexagon
  • 3 = Triangle (Pyramid stick!)
  • 4 = Square
• num_stages: How many telescoping sections do you want? (Default: 3)
• length: Total height of the stick when collapsed.
• dia_reduced: Control how much the diameter shrinks with each stage.
• inner_diameter: The starting size of the handle.
• wall_thickness & clearance: Fine-tune for your printer's tolerances.

🖨️ Printing Recommendations

• Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS.
• Infill: 15-20% Grid or Gyroid for strength.
• Walls: 2-3 walls are recommended for durability.
• Orientation: The file is pre-rotated to print upside down (handle up) for best results, or you can print it standing up.
• Supports: No supports needed! The nested conical design prints perfectly without them.
