Trainer Balisong

thingiverse

I've been working on this balisong trainer for quite some time now, and I'm proud of what I've designed myself. Unfortunately, I've hit a roadblock with the design, which is why I'm sharing it here. Hopefully, many people will work on it, and we can create an excellent trainer together. I'll add the exact dimensions of each part soon. To assemble this knife, you'll need specific components: 2 x 3/4" x 1/2" barrel sex bolts for pivots 4 x washers that fit snugly between the handles and the pivots 2 x Handle 1 pieces 2 x Handle 2 pieces 2 x Scale 1 pieces 2 x Scale 2 pieces 2 x Zen Pins (you can choose your preferred material, such as carbon fiber rods) 1 x Set of Spacers 4 x #10 Bolts with nuts 12 x #10 nuts for added weight When printing this design, I recommend using a 0.2mm layer height and 75% infill to achieve the desired weight. You'll notice slots on both sides of the scales and handles; these are designed to hold additional #10 nuts for extra weight. Feel free to experiment with different materials that fit your needs. The biggest challenge lies in achieving precise tolerances between parts. I've found it necessary to drill out holes in the blade from time to time due to this issue.
