Buster Sword Apex x FF Mashup
This ready to print model is in total about 1,80 m long. It consists 62 individual pieces which are separated to be printed in the according colors.
I have implemted holes for a round rod / dowel. The lenght of each rod should be 900 mm.
So far I included two versions of rod 23 mm (watch out this is exactly 23mm as my dowels which sold as 23 mm diamater where undersized), and 20 mm. This one has +0,4 mm tolerance so you can slide it in easier. If you need another one please let me know!
I used M8 threaded rods for the prototype and I wouldnt recommend that as they bend a lot due to the weight. In the end I used 23 mm wooden dowels which were much stiffer!
Each file has the according color in the file name. If the file needs support I also included this in the file name. (There are only 3 files which need supports, all other files print support free!)
I will give you some estimates on how much filament you need for the print, as this can heavily vary on your print settings:
- Gold: ~ 1kg
- Brown: < 1kg
- Black: < 2kg
- Light grey: < 2kg
- Mid grey: < 2kg I recommend printing the handle with 4 perimeters, this has the most stress. Go for more weight on the lower section on the sword and lower density / weight on the blade pieces, then it wont be as top heavy. You can do 2 perimeters and 5-8% infill for the blade pieces.
Update 28.05.: Added 24 mm dowel version :)
Please read the assembly instruction before assembly. ;)
