A video of the finished dagger is available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iVzFl22-RfzYUSCQUTZ8EYkEC1lRGatY. This is my attempt at creating the Punished Props Academy Community Build of the Makonde Dagger designed by Jonah Lobe. I wanted to try out this project to see if I can create it using Fusion360, print and finish it myself. I learned a lot about Fusion360 and was once again surprised by the quality of the Ultimaker machine. The inside of the blade took me longer than expected, but with a few tries, I finally got it done. Other than Bill in the build video, I didn't add the hammered metal effect to the model. I printed all parts using an Ultimaker 2+ and Innofill ABS filament. All parts were sliced with Cura. Most parts required some little supports aside from the handle. The full blade was too big to fit in the Ultimaker 2+ buildspace, so I also included a 2-part version of the blade. Additionally, one version of the tip of the blade comes with custom supports. I plan to glue everything together using acetone slurry, sand it, and then use some acetone vapor to make it smooth.
