Dragon Katana Collapsible Sword

thingiverse

This is another sword I've created now that I've taught myself how to craft blades that anyone can manufacture. I was extremely frustrated trying to print other collapsible blade swords on Thingiverse even with my printer properly calibrated. So, I designed new blades with the correct spacing that you can print at a resolution of ".2" and regular speed. This is a take on a Katana-type sword and I've embossed Dragons on the hilt and added the Kenji symbol for Dragon as well. I'm currently printing this out in "Gold" and it's looking fantastic. I'll post more pictures once I remove it from the print bed and expand the blade. Note: I was informed that due to filament variations that it can print too tightly. I'll post an updated version in the next few days with more spacing to account for this issue. Also, I'm going to make the blade removable. This way you can validate that you can print the blade successfully and then insert it into the hilt.
