During this week I got done my sketches for the cane. I wrote a list of materials that I would need to build it and I wrote out how I thought I could combine the different parts of the cane (the handle, shaft, and bottom). Currently I am thinking about threading it so it screws together but I would have to find a way to do this with the materials and tools I have access to. Am idea I had was to 3D print a connector but then I would have the issue of the connector potentially coming off or breaking, making the purpose of the cane backfire and potentially hurt my grandmother.
Next week I am planning to find a way to connect the three parts of the cane and potentially see if I can 3D print the connector I will use to do so. I will also use the chart I got and ask my grandmother what her height is to determine what the proper height of the cane should be. I will also need to determine the ratio for how large the handle, bottom and shaft should be to each other.
