Transformers Headmasters Skullcruncher Sword/Tail

thingiverse

While Headmaster figures are fairly common, they're mostly found today without any accessories whatsoever. This is a real pain, especially when accessories play a significant role in one or more of the figure's modes. The Heads are the most sought-after part people want, but there's also a list of others. Skullcruncher, like fellow Headmaster Weirdwolf, uses one of his weapons as a Tail. Without it, he looks like a stump-tailed crocodile (not an alligator, kind of). With it, he looks much better. In Robot mode, the Tail functions as his Sword. Using a couple of photos for reference, this appears to be a pretty accurate copy of the sword tail and will fit the 5mm connector for the tail without any trouble at all. While Weirdwolf was never reissued, being a 5mm post, the sword is highly compatible with various Transformers however, it's completely incompatible with the Titan's Return remake 'Skullsmasher' because for that, his Sword became... erm... a weird shield/guard which can store his gun... yeah, that part was a bit of rubbish on that new version. I've uploaded the sword as separate parts instead of one piece as I found you'd get far better results like that then printing it as one piece. I've also included some little pegs to help line up and slot together. They might need filing to fit or choose not to use them. Sorry about the photos; they aren't great. I wasn't able to print in color because I just didn't have enough of a close-enough colored filament, and I didn't print my pegs either. As I was lining up the two halves, the glue got a firm grip right away, so the two pieces are slightly off-center from each other, not too much though... Also, this was kinda ready a while back but having printer problems, I think. After a number of tweaks, it's back in working order, but I'm not sure if the new stepper drivers are affecting the quality... I think either way, I need to tweak the Z-axis.
