Double Action Out The Front Switchblade (DA-OTF-SB)

thingiverse

This is my first thing on here, some assembly is required after printing. Note that some of the parts you'll need to print once, some parts will require two copies, and some parts will need four prints. You'll also need two long tension springs to drive the main mechanism, and four small springs to drive the locking mechanism. I'm still testing this thing to see what springs work best for it, and I'll update this description when I figure it out. DISCLAIMER: If you make this thing, I accept no responsibility for your actions, or any damages caused, incurred, or sustained by this thing. Check local laws and regulations prior to making this thing, and don't be stupid. Instructions Step 1: Printing This is how many of each part you'll need to print: -> 1 x Knife Blade MKI -> 2 x Blade Catch MKI -> 2 x Blade Interior Rail MKI -> 2 x Exterior Case MKI -> 2 x Interior Slide MKI -> 4 x Blade Plug MKI -> 4 x Interior Slide Lock MKI Step 2: Assembly Assemble the blade section by using the Blade Plugs to secure one of the Blade Interior Rails to each side of the Knife Blade. Next, assemble the internal slide mechanism by matching up the holes and pegs on the thumb switch of the Interior Slide part. Place the Blade Catches inside of the Exterior case at each end, with the smaller openings facing away from each other. Place the assembled Interior Slide section in between the Blade Catches. Note that you must stretch a tension spring from the knobs of the blade catches, and over the internal slide so that the Blade Catches are in constant tension.

Step 4: Finishing Touches Attach the other Exterior Case part to the assembled thing. Test this thing, making sure that the thing is not pointed at anything it could possibly damage. Be safe, have fun, don't be stupid.
