How to Make a Blindness Cane Support

A wearable 3D printable support for blindness cane. It's a little but yet practical support which people can attach to belt, backpack or anything else in order to get an extra place where put the cane. That provides, for instance, a place to support the cane while opening a door with keys without rely it on the wall or floor.

For this waerable you only need 5 things:

• A 3D printer (in case you haven't, searching one near you, there will probably be someone in your school or neighbourhood that has one).
• Some filament (this model is made by PLA): 14.8g aprox.
• The file attached here.
• And a lot of patience: between 1-2 houres, depending on the printer, the size, the filament, etc.
• Velcro or other kinf of adjustable straps to attach.

IT WILL TAKE YOU JUST 3 STEPS!

1.First things first, download the document attached (.gcode) and print it in any 3D printer

*This model is made for a PRUSA 3D printers, 0.4mm PLA filament.

If you have acces to another type of 3D printer, choose the format (.STL) and feel free to make your own adjustments.

2.Print the support. It will take between 1-2 hours.

This is the worst step, because it requieres some time.

Be patience, it's worthy :)

3.Once the piece it's been printed, cut a Velcro strap and adjust it around the two gaps.
