Kubotan Metal Core / Rod (dangerous and painful)

thingiverse

**Kubotan - painful and dangerous !!!** The model has a metal core that makes the Kubotan extremely stable and usable for real self-defense. I use a 5.7 mm diameter rod 12 cm long for M6 screws. It makes a handle around a threaded rod, creating a very effective tool for self-defense. I have designed different sizes for different distances of the knuckles (S:18mm, M:20mm L:22mm, XL:24mm). From my point of view, other 3D models are rather toys or only usable for training. I have tried other models, but if they are only plastic, then you hardly feel them through clothes. A metal rod is ideal for penetrating sensitive pressure points, produces severe pain when striking bones and muscles, even through clothing. Metal is much harder than plastic and increases pain for the attacker. **Printing:** I recommend a layer height of 0.2 to 0.3 mm, four permitters and 25% infill. The model can be printed crosswise without support. For the standing print I have a separate variant of the model with three parts.
