Flying Phoenix - Dismantlable han jian

prusaprinters

<p>Assemble the blade using the square dowels. They were designed with a 0.1mm tolerance on each side, which works fine for my Prusa with PLA - you might need to scale them down. You want a snug fit, but not so snug that it won't be removable (unless you don't plan on taking the sword apart).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The sword can break apart in up to 6 pieces. You may glue some of them together for extra strength ; I glue half the pieces and can break it down to 3 pieces</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recommend printing the blade pieces with the long side on the bed, for extra strength. Printing them vertically is also possible, but they'll be more liable to break.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Model based on <a href="https://lkchensword.com/flying-phoenix">https://lkchensword.com/flying-phoenix</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I used:</p><ul><li>Carbon Fiber PLA for the blade</li><li>PETG for the hilt</li><li>TPU for the pommel<ul><li>TPU shrunk quite a bit and made the fit EXTRA tight - I had to use a mallet to drive the tang all the way in! You may want to scale that part up if using a material that shrinks</li></ul></li></ul>
