Just thought it would be cool to share for other parents during these rough times,
I was looking at the other drum stick designs and was thinking it seemed like a waste to print essentially a stick, and so I designed these drumstick caps to go on the ends of colored pencils [or whatever round stick with some scaling/trial error]
I messed up the initial measurement so I'd say try printing at about 133.333...% scale I went up to 134% then I simply used some gorilla glue [via gluestick I think most sturdy glues should work ok.] and presto, drum sticks for toy drums/glockenspiels/etc, not tested for serious drumming lol let me know if you decide to test at own risk haha.
As far as printing, I used PLA, it's a simple print I used adhesion and supports [might not need supports but it's such a small print why not] I upped the walls to 4 and used cubic infill at 20% being as small as it is not sure how much a difference it'll really make lol also worked fine on low quality.
Printer:

PolyMaker PLABlack looks pro af
Notes:
it's pretty simple, 4 walls is probably the biggest tip, 20% infill but remember to print at 133/134%, pencil widths may vary I'll update this again later, it's late but felt like sharing had fun.
