Collapsing Jian (Print in Place)

thingiverse

#Collapsing Jian This is a collapsing Jian, a Chinese sword that collapses from 200mm to over 800mm long when printed. The sword was designed at the request of Naomi Wu, also known as "SexyCyborg", who wanted a version of her culture's collapsing sword. I thought it was an excellent idea and happily created one for her. If you haven't seen her YouTube channel yet, make sure to check it out! She is based in China and does reviews on 3D printers and other tech. If you experience any issues while printing, check out my troubleshooting video: https://youtu.be/YQV4PYJPhx0 To learn more about the history of these swords, watch this video: https://youtu.be/xN0H9npkkP4 You can see the Jian in Naomi's new Ender 5 Plus video: https://youtu.be/coIgR2u9XrQ I am working on a video that explains how I designed the Jian and shows you how to create your own. It will be available soon, so subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to stay notified.
