Collapsing Broadsword (Removable Blade)

thingiverse

I really loved the sword designed by 3DPRINTINGWORLD, but I wanted it to feature a steel blade and a golden hilt. So, I performed a quick modification in Blender to make it similar to the removable blade lightsaber. I also desired a broad blade since it's a broadsword! The cap can probably be removed by pushing hard enough on the blade segments, but I didn't test it. Fortunately, even if you break the small pegs during this process, there is only a small cap to print or you can glue it if you prefer. Printed on Eryone Thinker using 0.2mm layer height for the blade segments printed one at a time in spiral vase mode with a 0.4mm nozzle set to 0.8mm line width in Cura, and Creality Ender 3 for the hilt and cap using Eryone Silk Silver and Silk Gold filaments. I used 50% infill for the hilt and cap at 0.12mm layer height. I am currently working on a new blade design; stay tuned for updates.
