Description

Sword whip - sword whip

A sword that can undergo transformations, from an ordinary sword it turns into a whip composed of segments of the blade.

The sword can be unfolded by stretching by grasping the handle and the tip of the blade. It may be a little difficult the first time you try it, but after a few attempts it should be easier.

Update 21.03.2025

I will make a profile with a longer version, the maximum for the table 256x256, extended by 5 segments.

Updated August 16, 2025
I have added a new print profile with the safe version. The tip and blades have been more rounded to make the sword more secure.

Printing notes

  • Supports are required for the connecting mechanism to work properly. The connectors are then smooth and nothing hooks when connecting and unfolding.
  • Remove all supports after printing.
  • The handle can be excluded from the supports.
  • Suppore -> Type: tree.
  • On build plate only - checked.
  • Tree Support -> Branch angle: 30 - so that the supports do not go inside the elements.
  • Wall loops: 3.
Originally the print profiles were created in BambuStudio 1.10.X and then the supports generated correctly according to my assumptions, unfortunately from BambuStudio 2.X onwards the supports no longer generated and therefore I had to use manual supports which unfortunately are more difficult to remove.

All of the above comments are included in my print profile and I recommend using it.

 

I tested the print on Bambu Lab Basic as well as Matte filaments and had no problem with them. I gather from the comments that prints from PET-G also come out well.

From my tests as well as reports from other users, it seems that PLA Silk is not a good choice for printing this model. PLA Silk handles sags poorly and is more brittle which increases the chance of chain breakage.

 

Remember that this project requires precision, so you need to have well-calibrated Flow Ratio and Flow Dynamics, I also remind you about a clean and degreased plate.
