Ranger's Apprentice Throwing Knife

thingiverse

THWOK!! That's the sound of the throwing knife from Ranger's Apprentice meeting a tree trunk! I designed this throwing knife based carefully off the descriptions found in the series, and modelled this specific item off a whittled knife design made many years ago. This was intended to be printed in relatively hard TPU, which it did phenominally well! I printed it in the upright position, so the base of the handle was touching the buildplate, and the tip was printed last. No support material, no raft, although a brim would not hurt. Before attempting this TPU print, I designed and printed these TPU tests to ensure I was prepared and calibrated: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5317395 . I also have 2 versions of the sax knife, as well as a throwing knife with a bigger handle as well, check those out if interested. Lastly, I have a full-sized double-sheath made for thee exact knives, also made for TPU, so check that one out as well. J3_ out.
