Gun loader stick

My dad got these old pirate guns, and there is supposed to be a stick/rod that slides underneath along the barrel, used to reload the gun by showing the bullet down the barrel.

However it was missing for some of them and almost totally gone, worn out and broken for one of them.

Used what was left of the one remaining as a template and designed new ones to be 3D printed.

I actually made different sizes, but you may scale this design as you need, printed the rod in black and the end in wood filament. you can snap them together or use some glue if you like.

You may try to print the rod standing tall, however if you have a moving print bad as I do, then it is better to print laying down to avoid wiggling as it gets taller, unless you would use a lot of support, but I would say that's a waist of filament and also it will make it take way longer to print, actually I think it looks best if printed laying down after all.
