Not includes the correct model for the Bottom Blade Section Left Side, allowing the slots for the Blade Stabilizer greebly to correctly fit into the blade. Thank you to the community for finding this small oversight.

Attention all Loyal Servants of the Emperor! This freshly consecrated STC has been purged of Warp Daemons and is now ready for your Armorers and Quartermasters!
A Gratitude is owed to all Loyal Imperial Servants that have been working tirelessly on the Grimdark Chainsword Mk.2. It was recently discovered through the VOXNET that many quartermasters and Armorers were having difficulty making the Mk.2 Chainsword function as advertised. The offending warp daemons have been purged from the STC files and this Mk.3 Chainsword is ready to be taken afield.
A separate posting to the Mk.2 chainsword will be made, purging the afflicted files and perfecting that model.
This Model also comes with some different aesthetics and a BUILD GUIDE is presented here in google document format, Armorershave permission to view and follow the guide.
Quick Overview of Changes and Improvements over Mk.2:
*Aesthetic changes to the blade made to accommodate a ¼ inch round channel down the spine so a dowel or threaded rod may be added if desired.
*Aesthetic Changes made to grip - now more grippier!
*Blade Sections are provided in clamshell design to facilitate faster printing and have the “print grain” in a direction consistent with the mechanical motion, reducing chain friction and noise.
*Mechanical attachments for blade halves with M3 screws and threaded inserts.
*Blade stabilizing blocks for internal stiffening of the blade sections, making this model easier to wield, sweep, strike and move without fear of parts separating.
*Blade hole covers to hide screw holes.
*Bottom blade section has two additional slots in it for additional blade anchors to the Motor hub.
*Bottom blade section now has “bowtie” tabs that are to be glued on in order to slot the bottom blade section into the motor shroud/battery pack. This was necessary to facilitate the clamshell design.
*Removal of the Top Tensioner as a recommended part. This part was causing binding in the chain and is not necessary in the build.
*Updated chain linkages. These new linkages have a greater degree of freedom and motion than previous links. The original chain and linkages should work in this build without issue, but this new design makes for a faster and smoother motion of the chain.
*New Toothier Teeth - a dual tooth design makes for a more sinister looking blade, while avoiding too much heresy.
*New Motor Housings - It was found that a very well hidden Warp Daemon was still living within the STC files for the Mk.2 Chainsword. This gremlin offset the drive gear in one of the housings by about 2.25mm. This minor shift was enough to untrue the drive gear and cause the chain to bind as it went around the drive gear. This filth has been purified from the STC files. The new Motor Housings are co-axial and the drive gear will sit in its channel true. There are also additional M3 Threaded inserts installed in the new motor housings so a “gore grille” can be installed to bridge the housing halves, hide a seam, and offer an easy point of customization for armorers. Two additional parts are provided as well, these are anchors for the front of the blade, providing an easy point of customization as well as stiffening the forward/backward motion of the blade,
*New Drive Gear - the original Mk.2 drive gear had 4 sprockets, this has 5 sprockets. That’s 25% more sprockets! In addition, the sprockets have been thinned and lengthened while the hub has been lightened and narrowed. All of these changes are to provide less opportunity for mechanical jams around the drive gear and the hub.
May The Emperor Guide your STC Generator This Day!
