Folding SynSheath Dual Blades with holster II
Print Profile(4)




Description
This is an updated version of an older project. Every component has been redesigned and extensively tested. Except for the general silhouette of the hilt and external decorative patterns, which remain similar to the original version, all other elements are entirely new designs.
A pair of collapsible short swords designed with mutual-sheath geometry, allowing blade-to-handle nesting when folded. This space-optimized system enables:
170% blade-to-handle ratio (industry standard: 85%)
Zero additional sheath components through symbiotic blade alignment

The back-mounted locking mechanism is optimized for 3D printing. Whether the blades are folded or deployed, the locking structure remains uncompressed and deformation-free, ensuring enhanced reliability and durability.

Printing: Simple process requiring minimal and easily removable supports.
Print File Selection:
We provide three 3MF files for different configurations:
Standard Version for A1 P1 H2D Printer
A1MINN Compact Version – Blade length reduced by 15mm from standard
Short Blade (Standalone) – This file provides an independent blade component (blade-only, replaceable across configurations) with full retraction capability within the hilt.
Critical Note:
All files employ different wall layer configurations for structural reinforcement
Mandatory to use provided files for guaranteed dimensional accuracy
Print the provided 3MF file twice to produce a matching pair (non-mirrored identical copies)

Assembly: Blades secured with 3D-printed bolts; adhesive required for locking mechanism fixation.
Installation Instructions:





Note: This project has undergone extensive print validation. We are confident in its printability and straightforward assembly.


The strength of 3D-printed knives cannot be guaranteed and they are suitable only for light-duty tasks, such as cutting paper or opening Amazon packages. Unless otherwise specified, all of my knife designs are intended for light-duty use only.
