Collapsing Katana 天鎖斬月 (BLEACH -Tensa Zangetsu)

Collapsing Katana 天鎖斬月 (BLEACH -Tensa Zangetsu)

This is a telescopic sword inspired by the sword "天鎖斬月" used by Kurosaki Ichigo in the Japanese manga "BLEACH".

This is a telescopic katana that is printed in parts and then assembled. You can choose to print different colors and strengths for different parts.
The handle is capped to facilitate future maintenance and blade replacement.However, the disadvantage of this is that the printing time will increase.
If you are sure that you can print an all-in-one print, you can refer to my previous telescopic knife work Reverse Blade Sword mini:

Notice
It is recommended to use PLA+、PETG for printing.
If your filament has insufficient strength, please increase the fill overlap to more than 40%.

Assembly instructions:
1. Place the blades in order.

2. Close the handle cover.

3. Insert two pins to secure.

4. fixation of chains
Glue is required to secure the chain to the cover of the handle.

Remark:
1. If the pin is too loose, you can apply removable glue, such as Styrofoam, to the tip of the latch to facilitate removal during future repairs.
2. Since the flow rate of each brand of filament will vary, the pin may be too thick or too thin. If you encounter this problem, you can adjust the Z height of the pin and print the two pin parts separately.
3. If it is difficult to align the exit hole when the pin is inserted into the tool holder, you can use a blade to push in the direction of the hole to facilitate alignment of the exit hole.
