For long stuff like canes and antennae, I recommend an expandable art tube, like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Expanding-Adjustable-Waterproof-Light-resistance-Telescoping/dp/B01AJ569N2
Awesome, thanks a bunch for the tips. I have no engineering background so I appreciate the tips and the reading materials. I'll take a look. And without 3D printing, I think the only way I can solve the problem is by hideously MacGyvering some materials to a standard plastic tube. But I'll mull on that thought
​
Also, I was thinking 3D print the tube once or twice for the prototype, then if I decide to mass produce, move into tooling/molds. Is that a viable plan for these kinds of products?

This is on a certain level similar to what I'm making:
