Summary

I wanted to try a hockey knob more permanent than made out of tape, so this is the result. I've played a couple games and it's working great! Not bad for $0.36 worth of plastic!

TBD: I might tape over it, or play with different outside shapes. For now, this taper is nice.

Fit

I took the end plug out of my stick and measured the outside and inside dimensions with a caliper. I eyeballed the ~4mm rounded corners. The default numbers fit my HockeyStickMan Intermediate Pro Blackout Extra Light like a glove. I had to shove it on, and I don't think it's coming off without tools.

Customizer

Try the customizer with your measurements and let me know how it goes! Or if your stick is the same size, use my "default size" STL.

outer_width = 30.2;outer_height = 20.2;inner_width = 27.1;inner_height = 17;corner_radius = 4;

The outer_chonk variable right now isn't very adjustable, due to the taper. Again, I might play with more shapes in the future.

Print and finishing

  • I printed in PLA, but I imagine TPU could work well, too.
  • I printed with 4 wall loops and 5 bottom layers on a 0.4 nozzle.
  • You might need to adjust the measurements per your stick, material, and printer.
  • Because it's printed on the back, it needs no supports, but the bottom edges are sharp right off the printer. I sanded those back edges down (see photo) - you can similarly just scrape it against the concrete.
