Stirring Stick

thingiverse

*Man's first invention was the stick, used to keep bad things away. Man's second invention was the rope, used to keep good things close.* Here's a thing used in the making of something that holds things together. No more picking sticks up off the ground or using the one that came with your paint or epoxy or contact cement, that bullpucky's for chumps. You're not a chump, are you? Of course not, else a handsome chap like you wouldn't be here learning the best and most efficient way to create your very own stick through the wondrous process of 3D printing. It's like ordinary printing, but with DEPTH, the kind of depth that a fine, enterprising captain of industry like yourself possesses in spades and uses to ponder those great mysteries of life like, "How can I stir this 2-part epoxy without getting my hands all sticky or making my as-of-yet-uneaten popsicle inedible?" Wonder no more, All this can be your's for the low, low, nonexistent price of not a damn thing because IT'S A STICK. See, stick! Stick, stupid! Psh! No wonder you're extinct. Kidding and extinction events aside, this is legitimately useful if you don't mind the wait time of about 30 minutes, and there's something to be said about a, um, stick you can set exacting specifications for, like thickness and overall shape. Maybe you need one end flat and wide to spread the glue around once you're done using the other, thinner and narrower end to stir the stuff that needs spreading. Maybe the stirring part can have holes or grooves in it to better move the mixture around more thoroughly and evenly. Maybe you need a logo on it so the welt you leave on someone's skin reminds them who they dared to mess wi--er, anyway, if you're going to make your own tools, do it with a sense of purpose and style. Maybe I'll try my hand at making a customizer. I need an excuse to spend more quality time with **OpenSCAD**.
