Collapsing Tritana
Added 2024-10-22 23:26:36 +0000 UTCSorry for delaying last weeks weapon... Just when I got the design done except for the last part, the wrap. I immediately realized that I wasn't not sure how to model it.... I know I'll eventually figure it out but until then, here is the Tritana! Its a katana hilt with a three edged blade.
Since I was behind, I should not have picked a sword with a new blade design. It took a bit to get it just right so I only had time to make a single design. Its BYOK style so expect different designs to choose from in the future.
The cap on the replaceable blade versions is not glued on but is removable by squeezing its sides. The blades then can be printed separately and inserted or replaced. The multi-part version of the sword has been broken down to different parts so they can be printed separately in different colors then assembled.
There are five versions of this sword:
Print-in-Place Single Color
Print-in-Place Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)
Replaceable Blade Single Color
Replaceable Blade Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)
Replaceable Blade Single Extruder Multi-Part
Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website.
