Balisong / Butterfly Knife - No screws or metal needed!

thingiverse

This is a fully 3D printable balisong / butterfly knife with all components coming right off your printer bed. I do recommend using some super glue or krazy glue on the pin caps when it comes time to assemble, but other than that, it's all PLA. I was originally printing fumbucker's design when I ran into issues trying to print M3 bolts and nuts to hold it together. Yes, I could've gone to the hardware store to get sturdy, metal components, but I wanted the colors and didn't want to leave my stupid house. Instead, I took the pins from Will23110's design and resized them to be close to an M3 bolt. Finally I took a basic washer file and sized it down to squeeze tightly on the other side of the pin as pin caps. EDIT:: Instructions are gone. No one gets instructions. Y’all couldn’t be nice about it (except one dude who was kind of nice about it.) This blew up and a lot of people are trying to tip me, but I don’t feel right accepting money on something I didn’t really design beyond consolidating things other people made. Please instead consider donating to the Community Action Committee of Columbiana County (https://donorbox.org/caacc_donate), a charity that assists the needy of East Palestine, OH, where that huge chemical disaster just occurred. The air is toxic with chlorine gas, the water is tainted across multiple states, and things just got a lot harder for those who already had it pretty hard. I don’t need money like they do. Thank you for your consideration.
