Spring updates and a nasty cold

Hi everyone, its Victorious!

I hope Spring cleaning is going well, welcome to a Spring update. Thru these posts, I hope to keep myself on schedule with projects. For now these updates will come once a month or two, as I complete any progress worth mentioning.

First off, I took a long break last year due top burnout and work. After all, 3D printing is my hobby and my W-2 job is the one currently paying the bills. Even so, I apologize for the radio silence this past few months.

(シ_ _ )シ

With that said, I did manage to release a new model: Ducusram! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

If it looks familiar, that's because its the upgraded version of Marsh Dagger V3 from Shangri-La Frontier. Handle is the same, but everything else got redesigned. And I added a new twist lock to join the Blade halves (glue is also an option). If it's a bit tight, use hole compensation on the blade parts to open up the locking holes a tiny bit. Also updated the files of Marsh Dagger to use the same twist lock feature.

Second....I'm currently going thru a cold. I won't stop designing completely, but I will need to rest a bit more to nurse this cold. ˇ~ˇ 🌡️(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )

BUT, I'm almost finished with the next model: Nanashi Mumei's Dagger and Sheath!

This has been in my to do list for a while. I watch her streams, but she recently announced her retirement from streaming. Work on this model started ever since and the files will be released this Friday.

I hope i did justice to Azure-san's reference work, who is the original artist for her avatar. I want to see many fans cosplaying her persona. And if you do, please tag me. I'm looking forward to see all of your cosplays! ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡

As for future projects, I'm still shaking the cobwebs off. I do have another project to work on next and will be a bit of new territory for me. I will be working on Suisei Hoshimachi's Crescent Moon Bardiche. This design was made by Saeki Yahiro-san.

This is a giant axe from the pole axe family, if my google search is correct. The goal is to make a kit where you supply your own wooden pole/PVC pipe. I plan to include adapters for both options. I will try to source some metric PVC pipe and threaded couplings for fit testing for non-american cosplayers, but I can't make any promises yet.

That wraps up this spring update. Take care everyone and go print!
