side sword

myminifactory

This is my designe for a side sword, the link betwen the one handed arming sword and the rapier.  this build is similar to my previous sword. as such... Please read descrition for instructions! To Contruct this print has will need A wodden dowl (dia 6mm X lenght 100mm) for sword 2-1, and a nut and bolt (dia 6mmX860mm) bolt imbedded in the end of the tang. There is a distiled taper on the blade. As such to put them together in the right oreantation, place the two faces together, if they fit flush with eachother they're in the proper oreantation, and if the face it too small then it's the either the wrong peice or wrong side.  To imbed the bolt, check the preview for the tang on your softwear. From there you can see where the printer starts to fill up the top of the hole. When you've started the print, wait for just before it reaches that point and pause the print so you can put in the bolt then continue the print, locking it in place.  Supports are needed for the guard, pommel. the Sword peices and tang doesn't need suports as it's meant to house an imbedded peice. if you have any more questions feel free to ask
