CAD Files
STL files for 3D printing are oriented to print "as-is" on FDM style machines. Parts are designed to 3D print without any support material. Original design source may be downloaded using the links below.
Slicing Parts
No supports are required. Slice with setting for PLA material.
Place the blade parts diagonally across the bed of the printer.
Rotating parts at 45 degrees allows long narrow parts to fit.
Slice Settings
The parts were sliced using CURA and FlashPrint using the slice settings below.
- PLA filament 220c extruder
- 0.2 layer height
- 10% gyroid infill
- 60mm/s print speed
- 60c heated bed
Filament for the Blade
A translucent white colored filament works best for the blade parts. Often called "Natural Clear" this filament features a white pigment but slightly transparent. This diffuses the NeoPixel LEDs quiet nicey.
Hilt Assembly
The coupler is fitted into the hand of the hilt. The guard is fitted into the coupler. The emitter is fitted over the coupler and keeps the guard secured in place. Screws secure the hilt and emitter to the coupler.
Blade Assembly (2-Part)
Hex nuts are inserted into the cavities in the blade parts. M3 screws secure the two blade parts together. Pockets allow the screws to be fastened together.
Parts for All Printers
These parts are designed to fit printers with small or large build volumes.
- coupler
- button-oring (For TPU filament)
- emitter
- pommel
- speaker-holder
- pcb-holder
- battery-holder
- guard
Parts for Small Printers
These parts are specifically designed for printers with smaller build volumes (150x150x140). The blade and hilt sections do not feature connection tabs and will need to be glued together with a strong adhesive.
- blade-cover-1
- blade-cover-2
- blade-cover-3
- blade-cover-4
- blade-base-1
- blade-mid-2
- blade-upper-3
- blade-tip-4
- hilt-top
- hilt-bottom
Parts for Big Printers
These parts are specifically designed for printer with large build volumes (300x300x400)
- hilt
- blade-tip
- blade-base
- blade-cover-tip
- blade-cover-base
Parts for Giant Printers
The blade and covers can be fully printed in one piece with printers that feature extra large build volumes.
Full size blade: 670mm (26.4in) long.
- blade-full
- blade-cover-full
