Description
A bit of a warning. It took a few attempts printing this. That is because the model kept om detaching from the buildplate. I'm not sure if the problem was the 3d-model, my printer or the filament. I made the model using bambulabs picture to 3d-model feature, so it might be something there that messed up, but i can't say for certain. But take this as a warning if you want to make this.
With that out of the way, this is captain Jack Sparrows sword. It is printed in 4 parts. As you can see the model is only the handle and a tiny blade. This was because i made it to fit into a scabbard i already owned, and to save on filament i only printed the handle and a short piece that goes into the scabbard. If you want to bake the whole blade, you are more than welcome to, but this was all i needed at the time. I printed with the finest layerhight to make the sanding process as easy as possible, but if you are in a hurry you can increase it. I also printed the model with 10% infill and the blade with 50% infill. The 10% was to save filament and the 50% blade was to make it heavier so that it would sit right in the scabbard. The tolerance for the connecting between the blade, handle and guard piece is tight enough so that you don't need gluing. But the handle and pommel needs glue to fit together. If i'm being honest, i made a few versions that where to tight and broke, so i felt it was better to make them to loose rather than to tight. I didn't want to use more filament making another, but you can mess around with the tolerances if you'd like.
