Dune Fremen Crysknife Remix and Scaling

thingiverse

It's a double remix, and one model was split so I put it back together again not realizing that model was a remix of one already in one piece, resulting in both being listed as sources. Using a 1mm nozzle, I printed this as basically one piece standing up in vase mode, which came out crazy clean. I dropped it into the virtual slicer bed to remove the "pummel" on the bottom. I printed the first 5mm in .4mm layers vase mode so I didn't have to futz with my bed level offset then switch to .12 layer height vase mode. WOW, did it come out nice! I could tweak a wee bit more but no need - very happy with it. Then I printed the "pummel" itself and just commanded the slicer to stop at 5mm, super gluing it onto the bottom easy peezy. If you don't mind support, you could just print it all one piece with supper for the area around the pummel. I scaled it 125% on X and Y and 186% on Z so it would be a nice "fit" for my hand. With the 1mm nozzle, the vase mode print is stupid strong - you could even play fight with this, I believe, as it's very strong. Now I just need to paint it. I will add that picture once I do. I may reprint it in a "bone white" play to reduce how much painting I have to do, and the finish is clean enough to allow that.
