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.

See another progect in the same style

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.

Great print! My cat loves it. Just gotta be careful if you're trying to "whip" it open as the links can break if you're too forceful.

Hi, you need to ask @MATUSKO for help. I haven't printed in this orientation and I can't really help you.

Pretty neat! I printed in PLA Silk, which was a horrible idea. My first try failed, which was printed at 50% speed and a 0.4 nozzle. Second try, which is in the photo, was at normal settings except for adaptive cubic infill, and a 0.6 nozzle. It printed very sloppy as expected with silk, but still a fun model! Definitely don’t print in silk haha. The model did have awesome movement when it was in whip form, and was very stiff in sword form. Great print! 10/10 Printed in: Bambu Lab Blue Hawaii Multicolor PLA Silk

Thank you for your comment, there are many comments according to which PLA Silk is not suitable for this model which is also evident from my tests, that is why I added in the description that I do not recommend printing from this material. Have a nice day.

Replying to @WojciechKawa :

I did not check for that, which is completely my fault. I just thought it’d be a fun risk. Not my favorite spool of filament either, so not much lost ;). You have a wonderful day as well!

amazing model and print, I was using the rainbow filament and placed the sword vertical and didn't add enough brim so it broke towards the end but I just cut it and stuck it on top and turned out perfectly.

@WojciechKawa

I don't know how you managed to print vertically, but the effect is really beautiful. Have fun with it.

@MATUSKO

Replying to @WojciechKawa :

ye me neither to be honest I thought it will fail way sooner than the last part, but thank you you can try it too if you have rainbow filament just add some extra brim and supports and not too fast towards the end and it should print perfectly fine

It's cool that there are people like you who are not afraid to experiment. 👍👍👍

printed twice. Both times came out like this. darn

@WojciechKawa

Hello, it looks to me like a problem with the adhesion to the plate, try to wash the plate well, maybe that will help.

One of the liks broke off the 3rd time it was whipped, from sword form. I put some glue in it to lock that link in sword form. The rest works and the kids likes it. I think maybe I was too hard with it when getting it off the print plate.

@Hoose007

same here, middle broke and glued it back together

broke instantly

The profile uploader has replied

@WojciechKawa

I am sorry that this happened to you. I suspect that some filaments are more brittle than others and that is why it happens.

@glardian

That is because you printed it in Silk PLA. Silk PLA is very weak and breaks easily. It's for things that are pretty to look at but not play with.
