Full Size Dark Sabre to fit on Mk3s printbed

prusaprinters

<p>Based on the original Ruiz Brothers project files, I've modified the blade so that it can be printed in 3 sections, and can be bolted together as per the original design - no glue required for the blade.</p><p>I've included a HiltSupport file as well, but this is a botch job that requires some post-processing to work. I didn't have the time to do this bit properly as I needed to complete in time for my son's birthday, and time was tight. You'll need to print it , then cut a section out of it with a hacksaw. That cut-out section is glued to the inside of one of the original hilt parts, and when completely dry, it then offers more surface area to be able to glue the two hilt parts together. If you cut it to the correct size, it won't interfere with any of the inner hilt components, and is strong enough. Sorry about the botch :)</p><p>Note that I built the sabre in PETG (apart from the blade cover), to make it less brittle.</p><p>Addendum (13/3/22 ) - originally I only posted the gcode because I thought I had sent the models direct from Fusion360 to PrusaSlicer, and for reasons not worth mention here, I didn't keep the model changes that I made within Fusion360.&nbsp;</p><p>However, I've found the STLs for the 3 blade sections and the hilt support component. I don't have the STLs for the blade cover unfortunately, but after printing them out, I would recommend cutting them out of black vinyl anyway, as the printed versions leaked a little light and smooth vinyl would give a better finish in my opinion.&nbsp;</p><p>A video of the finished article can be found here https://photos.app.goo.gl/LhFdarrUApN8EbAv5</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
