Tempus Fugit - Time is Fleeting
I wanted a winged hourglass cane topper for my plague doctor kit, inspired by the 1656 "Doctor Schnabel" engraving by Paul Furst. I didn't find much already online, so I sat down with OpenSCAD and designed my own.
My cane topper is sized to fit on a rod approximately 7/8" in diameter, with a 1/4" threaded rod for mounting. The designed-in hole is not threaded, and probably needs to be drilled out slightly to fit, but I was mounting it with glue anyway, to keep things secure.
The model prints well upside-down, but requires support for the overhanging sections of the hourglass and wings, as well as supporting the relatively small parts of the wings and columns, until they eventually connect to the main body of the model. I printed with lots of perimeters and relatively high infill, since it's a cane topper, and can reasonably be expected to see some abuse.
