I finally managed to redesign this and here's a list of changes I've made: -from 8 parts to 3 (fewer seams to fill from 4 to 2) -parts snap together (no longer require glue) Print the following STLs and snap them together: Updated Part 1 Vendetta Hilt Updated Part 2 Vendetta Blade Mid Updated Part 3 Vendetta Blade Tip Video: https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HqEZUH6hU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Old Description below if you use the old files, not recommended: I was asked to make my first model for cosplay. A set of six daggers for a V/Guy Fawkes costume of V for Vendetta fame. They wanted plastic as metal replicas are not con-friendly. I will post more pictures after they have painted and finished them. At 150mm x 150mm x 150mm, I have a relatively small volume printer (Printrbot Simple Metal). I mistakenly thought it would limit my ability to create but it only made me more creative. I modeled it off of pictures from the internet. I am sorry that the wrap around the handle doesn't look like a chain. I have uploaded the dagger in three different ways: For small volume printers, the model is split into five parts and needs three keys. For large volume printers, the model is split into two parts and needs one key. The whole 18" one-piece model All parts are in the correct orientation for printing. I printed with four outer layers and 15-20% infill. The key is just a "+" shaped part that fits between the parts to help with assembly. Post-processing - I used hot glue on one and super glue on another, but I also used a wood burner at the seams to weld them smooth/closed. This is why I recommend four outer layers/parameters. I am pleased with how strong it is. This might help someone: if your slicer asks for parameters or outer layers, the answer is probably four. However, on other slicers, it might ask for shell thickness (mm) and you will have to do some math. For example, my nozzle is .5mm, so if I want four outer layers, the math is .5 x 4 = 2mm wall thickness. If your nozzle is .4mm, the math would be .4 x 4 = 1.6mm wall thickness.
