Collapsing Sword
Added 2024-09-25 01:39:41 +0000 UTCThe cap for the replaceable blade versions of this sword is not glued on but is removable by squeezing its sides, the blades then can be printed separately and inserted or replaced. The multi-part version of the sword has been broken down to different parts so they can be printed separately in different colors then glued together.
There are five versions of this sword:
Print-in-Place Single Color
Print-in-Place Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)
Replaceable Blade Single Color
Replaceable Blade Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)
Replaceable Blade Single Extruder Multi-Part
Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website.
Printed with Polymaker Metallic Pro PLA
Comments
Had a question on the blades. Are they interchangable? As in do the Zangetsu Blades work with Haineko? And so forth, Im wondering if all the curved blades are the same so I can just keep printing the same file on my printer or if i have to slice new everytime.
