Rawlings Synthetic Sparring Sword Wheel Pommel

thingiverse

This is a rough draft of the standard wheel pommel used on Rawlings synthetic sparring swords. The dimensions are approximate, and I haven't printed it, so you're on your own figuring out how to assemble it. However, if everything goes smoothly, you should be able to attach an M8 nut to the bottom by gluing it into a hole and screwing it onto your sword. I added a tolerance of 0.1mm for the nut, which can be adjusted by changing the variable. I also included a captive_nut variable that allows you to choose between a hexagonal hole at the base or a plain screw hole directly in the plastic. You might need to drill out the hole slightly to fit it. I renamed the nut_tolerance variable to tolerance and applied it to both the nut hole and the screw hole. I also added a facet variable ($fn) to give the pommel a more rounded shape, but feel free to experiment with different polygonal shapes by adjusting this variable. Keep in mind that changing the facet variable will affect the base as well, so it might not line up perfectly with your grip if you choose a non-rounded shape. I'm still learning how to create SCAD objects, so excuse me if things are a bit messy - this is only my second attempt!
