Description

The Casper is a fully 3D-printable balisong (butterfly knife) trainer, designed for smooth and safe flipping. As part of the new Mc'Coon - Ringtail Series, this model features an original design with hidden stop pins and a simple press-fit assembly, requiring no screws or metal parts.

Features:

Safe, trainer-style design with no sharp edges
Fully 3D-printed with press-fit pivot system
Designed for easy printing with minimal supports
60g weight, printed at 100% infill for better balance
Optimized for PLA Matte, but also works well with other materials

Assembly Instructions:

Remove all supports from the printed parts, ensuring that no support material remains in the pinholes.
Check the pins to make sure they are completely clean of any leftover support material.
Insert one pin into a handle, then lay it flat on a table.
Place the blade into the handle and press down firmly on the table until it snaps into place.
Insert the second pin the same way, pressing it in until secure.
Repeat the same process for the other handle.

The Casper is the first model in the Mc'Coon - Ringtail Series, a line of high-quality, 3D-printable balisong trainers. More designs will follow as I continue developing this series.

Note: This is an independent design created for personal use and experimentation. Print and use responsibly.

Printed 3 of these, 2 broke, and the one I am currently on made the screws one piece, and it works really good. Although it squeaks, the problem is that chaplins are hard and fans; it feels really strange, bad, and good at the same time. would kinda recommend the best one on the app by far

@Dudzilla007

PRINT HANDLES NOT HORIZONTAL PRINT IT VERTICAL!!!!!!

The designer has replied

@filur68

The handles are printed horizontally for better layer adhesion and durability. When printed vertically, they tend to split or crack more easily. :)

@user_2481447256

Replying to @filur68 :

yes but I printed two versions one handle was printed horizontally and the other I printed vertically and those handles that I printed vertically turned out perfectly and screws were inserted into them and those handles that I printed horizontally had a defect and for which I had to process the handles and screws with sandpaper for a long time to connect them and if the horizontally printed handles fall they will not be damaged as well as from tricks but in any case if you are ready to process the handles and durability is important to you then print them horizontally and if you do not want to process them and durability is not important to you then print vertically in any case this is the best balisong that can be printed on a 3D printer of all that I have seen

Replying to @filur68 :

the white printed horizontal the blue printed vertical

@ahhvirgo

pretty good to practice flipping . it has a good weight the pin fit right in perfectly. although, while printing I had to turn it 90 degrees on its x axis so it can print on the plate. the only con is the gap is very wide when the blade is out.

@ARandomGuy

That is about the gap with a good quality balisong.

@lipe07031

what is that filament ?

@user_3914342865

i may remodel it to make the gap smaller

printed out well

@deixemeimprimir

The piece is intriguing, but I believe it would be improved by adjusting the aperture when the blade is extended—it is excessively wide

Show original

@ccxtomi

Really good, had to sand the pins a little but it was worth it

@user_1207612423

very good notging wrong really really good

@user_3278112311

Much better than my old butterfly knife, cause my old one broke immediately the blade snapped then I tried to print this model much better believe never snapped once
