Collapsing Katana

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

This is a collapsing Katana sword designed to be printed as one part. Its only 182mm high when printed but expands to over 825mm in total length! The sword is designed to be printed with a ,4mm nozzle, the blade will be two shells thick.

I have updated this version to have a single edged curved blade. You can find it here.

There is a Kanata test print. If this works, you shouldn't have a issue. If it fuses together, I would suggest adjusting your cost and wipe settings.

Detailed printing instructions can be found on my website For more info on how to print this, follow the links to my channel. https://youtu.be/YQV4PYJPhx0 https://youtu.be/xN0H9npkkP4

On my first print all the blades shot out. Funny but was hoping the blades would stay when extending

I would guess your printer is under extruding. Turn up your flow rate/extrusion multiplier or better yet, calibrate your extruder.

you can lightly use a heat gun on the ends of the extending bits but I mean VERY lightly

I've tired this before, its tricky but it works.

I ensured good z offset and level on lower speed. It worked

Find the test print and work on reducing the size of the layer seam with retraction settings.

So I printed it 100% scale and it works well and looks nice, but when I held the sword under a light, looking at it from below, I could see that roughly a quarter of each blade segment was inside it's prior blade segment. Does anyone know if there's another model or a scale I can change it to, to get this sword to be longer?

Only a quarter inch? I normally aim for 1-1.5", don't you want it shorter? Anyways, if you want it longer make sure you don't have any elephants foot on the inside of the segments. If so, remove it with a exacto knife. Otherwise to change length you can try adjusting your flow rate/extrusion multiplier.

layer 22 is showing as a solid piece in my slicer everything else prints perfectly but because of this all the blades stick together.

First time I've hear of this, what slicer are you using?

Works great but don't shrink it down.

True! Unless you use a smaller nozzle.

Hab den Griff in zwei teile Gedruckt und die Klinge in einer anderen Farbe zu drucken. hab natürlich gleich mal die spitze abgebrochen ;-). also dann halt auch noch die Klinge in Einzelteile gedruckt und den griff wieder geöffnet :-). Aber ich liebe es halt

p.s: gedruckt mit ender 3 und gefunden über @marsgizmo (danke dafür ;-) )

Oh, Its a hard first print. I think the nozzle is a little low on the first layer. Is it only fused there or the other layers too?

flow rate or z ofset problem
