⚠ IMPORTANT WARNING:
The inner extending tubes MUST be printed individually in Spiral Vase Mode (Spiralize Outer Contour) with 0 bottom layers!
If you print them in standard mode (normal walls), the segments will become too thick, will not fit together, and will NOT slide or collapse.
🎓 Collapsible Pointer for Teachers (Vase Mode Assembly)
A sleek, ultra-lightweight, and classroom-friendly telescopic pointer designed specifically for educators!
While popular "collapsing swords" and one-piece print-in-place toys are fun, they are often too bulky, heavy, and aggressive for real teaching environments. This pointer is re-engineered with a practical, modular approach.

💡 Why Modular Vase Mode Assembly instead of Print-in-Place?
Print-in-place models are convenient, but they often suffer from fused seams and stringing issues.
1. Flawless Seam & Smooth Action:
Printing the inner tubes individually in Spiral Vase Mode eliminates Z-seam bumps completely, allowing each section to slide smoothly without catching.
2. Easy Repair & Longevity:
Thanks to the screw-on bottom cap, you can simply replace a single damaged segment in minutes rather than reprinting the entire assembly.

🕊 The Ultimate Classroom Safety Feature (A Feature, Not a Flaw!)
Because the inner tubes are printed in single-wall Vase mode, they are intentionally delicate.
👉 Even in the rare event that a teacher completely loses their temper during a tough class, rest assured—there will be zero physical casualties.
The pointer will instantly crumple into harmless plastic before doing any harm! It is purely, 100% designed for peaceful pointing at the board.
