Halberd

thingiverse

Halberds made for use in medieval/renaissance combat. These halberds were designed for use in the SCA cut and thrust polearm experiment (approved for use as of 2/13/2024). -Print with TUP and Gyroid or Rectilinear infill at %10 infill to make sure the blade flexes.-These will fit on a 1.25" diameter round shaft with a taper on the end. The halberds have a taper in the top end, starting half way up, so they don't slip down the shaft. BEFORE YOU PRINT-Make sure to check on how to print TPU with your printer. I have to cover my print plate with painers tape to not damage it.-Use heat to melt the layers together to increase long term durability. I currently use a heatgun, used for shrinkwrap. If you find a better method please let me know. If there is only a break at a print seam or a crack you can use heat to repair the halberd.-The spearhead in the picture was purchased from Purpleheart Armory. -Its worth noting that I've been sparring with these without padding except on my head and hands.
