Gunblade

thingiverse

I used Blender 3D to dissect the original files. First, I cut the blade in half and added a reinforcement that would add stability when glued together. You may need to smooth out the reinforcement with sandpaper to get a precise fit. Next, I split the handle from the frame and attached the grips to the handle. They were originally separated so you could print them in different colors but since I was going to paint mine, I printed them at the same time. I also added a reinforcement on the handle. Then, I removed the chamber and created a shaft. Slide the chamber onto the shaft and then glue the shaft to the frame. This allows the chamber to rotate freely. I never made bullets so I just glued some metal washers over the holes. Sorry it has taken me 4 years to upload these files. My plan was to make the chamber pivot open but I never got around to it. These files should fit on a Replicator 2. The origins and orientation may be off-center when you first open them. Two of the included photos show an early print attempt where I sliced the blade into 5 pieces. It was extremely weak.
