CS:GO Butterfly Knife (No Screws Needed) - Balisong trainer

thingiverse

Since none of the other designs for this iconic prop met my expectations due to inaccuracies or the need for screws to assemble, I created my own fully 3D printable version. It's a highly accurate replica of the worldwide-known knife from CS:GO and feels very solid in hand. This design can be printed on any machine because it uses just a filament change, eliminating the need for a dual-color printer. The knife moves very smoothly (considering its 3D printed nature) allowing for tricks to be performed quite nicely. The blade can be printed in two parts and glued together afterward with a seam along the middle or in one part with no seam. However, I'm unsure what the best model orientation would be since the blade is too steep to be printed on its side. I uploaded click-in pins and a latch. The latch goes onto the bite handle endpin around the spacer with the side tangent to the circle facing away from the knife. Some makers have tested it, so you can see their results on this thing. I added two pictures that might help with assembly. At the bottom of the page is the list of parts needed to assemble this knife. I also included a comb version of the blade, allowing you to comb with style. There are three ways to print the handles: 1 - Using an automated filament change in Cura (which doesn't work on all printers) 2 - As two separate gcode files (as I did), one of which is 5 mm above the print surface and printed on top of the handle 3 - As two completely separate models glued together (not as strong) If you like this model, share it with others. Read the print settings and assembly notes below. Just to be clear: This is just a replica for display or trick performing and was not designed as a weapon. I also want to say that I have no profit from this design, so please don't sell it as your own. You can sell printed copies of this model as long as you link back to the original design. Thank you.
