Samurai Sword Holder

I was able to get my hands on Samurai Sword and wanted a way to display it. However, I did not find a design which suited my needs.I have designed two version of my samurai sword holder using Inventor; Open top: Just as its name implies, this design allows you to simple insert the sword from the top. Closed top: This design allows you to "lock" the sword in place. I don't want anyone, for whatever purpose, to pick up the sword and do whatever they want with it. Thus, with this design, you insert your sword from the side.I printed my design twice using a .3mm layer height with a 20% infill. In the future I do plan on sanding it down but I expect .2mm layer height would look even better. I had planned to use the closed top on the sword handle and the open top for the sword sleeve but I did not take into account the the end of the sword had thicker parts. Thus I am using them in reverse.The inner section has a 11 degree angle because my sword has a curve to it. Thus, I do not know if it will work with straight swords. If you want this design for a straight sword, just PM me and I will edit the design and upload it I do not plan to make any aditional edits to my design but I think I would need to raise the overall height to more than 4''Dimensions; 2'' wide 2'' depth 3.5'' high - The inner cut out is 1'' wideHopefully, this helps you to adjust the ratio to fit your needsDouble sided tape - I could design a base for this but for the time being, I think I will simply use tape to secure it to the surface. My intention is to show off my sword on a flat surface, thus I plan to put the tape on the very bottom. I am using cheap tape, I expect that not a lot of force will be placed onto the base.I guess that if you use command strips or something similar you could place your sword on the wall. I have not tried it, thus I can't say if it would work or not.I am the owner of https://www.neocrisis.com/
