Virtuous Treaty

The prototype comes from Virtuous Treaty, one of 2B's initial weapons in the game NieR: Automata, a greatsword. I modified it into a telescopic sword, trying my best to restore its size, although it is still a bit smaller compared to the game.

Below is the assembly process, which is quite simple. You will need several self-tapping screws: two m2.5*6, four m2.5*16, and six m2.5*12 (m2.5*16 can likely be used as a substitute).

Overall assembly:

Screw distribution:

First, slide the telescopic sword parts together, and the black part on top is locked with a 3D printed cylindrical pin.

Use the black cover at the back to conceal the telescopic sword.

Next is the rear section; first, lock the structural part and the black inner sleeve together.

Then, simply slide the other decorative parts together one by one:

Pay attention to the direction, or it might not fit.

Most of it looks like this after assembly.

Finally, combine the decorative parts on the blade body and the tail, and secure them with super glue.

Current issues:

1. The telescopic part sometimes does not extend fully, and excessive force can cause it to detach. This may require time to modify, but I think it is acceptable for now. If there isn't much interest, I might not spend time revising this part.

2. The internal structural parts are a bit thin, but their strength is sufficient, and simple handling should not be an issue.
