printed on Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo (i clicked Bambu Lab A1 because thats the closest thing to Kobra 3 and they dont have Kobra 3 as an option) using Pantone Tropical Turquoise, takes a lot of force to get back in, extends to only 650mm, great quality, the little thin ceiling in the pommel where the blade ends broke when forcing the blade back in so the blade goes in a little further than normal, otherwise printed okay
I printed it and it works perfectly! Im considering painting it but Im worried that itll mess up the extending part. Will a thin layer of spray on silver primer and a clear coat prevent it from extending? Id appreciate any advice as I am new to the 3d printing world, thanks!
My son loves it. I printed on a Bambu Labs X1C and I used Bambu basic orange filament with the .2 standard settings on a smooth plate. It printed absolutely great with no problems.
FYI - If someone wants to resize one of your collapsible blade creations, don't resize it any less than 75%. That's as far as you want to go. You might have luck printing each piece separately at a smaller size and in vase mode, if you must.
For those 75% -100%, consider change your slicer seam setting to 'random.' This ensures that there are no adjacent seams. It's seam of object one, travel (which is too quick for a retraction), and then the next object seam which causes objects to fuse.
I was looking forward to printing this sword but after a few tries the blades did not extend as far as they should I have a Ender 3v3SE and I’ve been working on the settings for a few days now I don’t know what to do maybe there are some settings that I could change or something on my printer is broken please respond.
Its really dependent on your printer and settings. If this is your first time printing a collapsing sword, you might consider waiting until you have more time because it will make it harder to print. Or try the test print scaled down and see those results.
ive tried printing it twice now and the blades refuse to come out of the handle. they look separated but when i try to even pull them out with pliers they wont budge. how can i fix this?
This is great. I haven't printed it yet but before I do there's a quick question I've got. I tried printing PNP blades from you before and sometimes they fuse somewhere near the bottom of the hilt so I can't separate them as it's too far in. This seems to happen 50/50 of the time. Which settings would you recommend for this? :)
I'm trying to print the test from this but my parts are always fused together where my print switch from one to the other.
I tried reducing the print and travel speed to 40mm/s, enabled retraction with 15 retraction distance, for 45mm/s retraction speed. When I watch my printer I see it doesn't retract the filament when it change from one part to another.
Can someone help me to fix this problem please ? :)
So i test printed the blades at the start. they printed nicely but when i printed the sword, the blades broke when i was trying to pull out. Since the hilt worked fine do you have a file for solid blade that i can print and glue onto it?
Should the test print act just like the blade or should it just fall through both ways? First print moves freely both ways instead of getting stuck 1 way how the blade is expected to act.
Did not work as expected. I printed the entire thing and when I tried to extend, all the internal blade came off as individual pieces. I printed on Ender 3 Pro with a default 4mm nozzle. I used Cura 4.11.0 for slicing and my print settings used are:
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Line Width: 0.42mm (as suggested above in the description)
Wall Thickness: 0.84mm
Wall Line Count: 2
Infill: 15%
Infill line distance: 2.8mm
Print Speed: 50mm/s
Wall Speed: 25mm/s
Retraction Distance: 5.0mm
Retraction Speed: 25.0mm/s
Filament Used: Pla+
let me know what could be wrong that caused the blades to just slide out without they locking into each other.

More bottom layers will fix the weak ceiling issue.
How long does this take to print?

it works really well i recomend it for you
Does you wall mount work for this one?? Please respond
Yes, its the same blade.
are there supports?
No there are not i realized that

thx
Can I use a raft with this print?
I don't but I know some people do!
do a demon slayer sword plz
I just Tanjiro's a couple weeks ago!
Do you need to print this with supports?
No suppports!

If they extend easy but not that far, look for elephants foot inside the blades. Find the new clearance test print and see how that turns out.
hola estoy intentando imprimirlo y las hojas no salen, se quedan atoradas, algun consejo?

hey 3d printing world,i literaly dont have the time to print it.can you please give me a scaling ratio i can use,like 2/3 or 3/4. please respond

Mine did not print properly and fused together
Try the new test print. https://than.gs/m/1219209
Sometimes when i print your swords they fuse together and dont work what do i do
How wide is it?
ive tried printing it twice now and the blades refuse to come out of the handle. they look separated but when i try to even pull them out with pliers they wont budge. how can i fix this?
Find the test print and work on reducing the size of the layer seam with your retraction setting. See my troubleshooting guide.

Retraction settings, see the trouble shooting guide and the test print.
for some reason it ended up being only 650mm long. printed on Bambu P1P with standard 0.4 nozzle with esun pla+ blue.
have the same issue on mine
Is it from elephants foot from the first layer being a little low?
Where can I find the base to place the sword?
Its here, in my thangs.
can this be made to fit a smaller printer?
I would not scale it down, unless you change the nozzle size. Or, get the replaceable blade version and print them in vase mode.
Hello,
I'm trying to print the test from this but my parts are always fused together where my print switch from one to the other. I tried reducing the print and travel speed to 40mm/s, enabled retraction with 15 retraction distance, for 45mm/s retraction speed. When I watch my printer I see it doesn't retract the filament when it change from one part to another.
Can someone help me to fix this problem please ? :)
Sounds like you might need to change your minimum distance before retraction down.
do you have a 3mf file in your membership section that works with bambu studio so i dont have to spend hours painting the print?
dang, wish i had seen that before using one of my dowloads on just the split print one. thank you though!
I dont have 3MF but I do have it split up for multi-color printing. see here
how do you extend the blade
just swing it
Needs a "sword of omens" version with the eye of thundera. :-)
I have the blade done, but I still need to sort out the hilt...
So i test printed the blades at the start. they printed nicely but when i printed the sword, the blades broke when i was trying to pull out. Since the hilt worked fine do you have a file for solid blade that i can print and glue onto it?
☝This👆
Look under geometrically related on this page. You'll see a version with replaceable blade
Should the test print act just like the blade or should it just fall through both ways? First print moves freely both ways instead of getting stuck 1 way how the blade is expected to act.
They should be free. Make sure the layer seams have clearance and there are no strings, you should be good.
this looks cool
How do I download it as a stl so my Ultimaker Cura can print it??? I don't know how to print files like this
There is a stl included in the files when you download all.
How do we download each part separately?
Look for the dual extruder version https://thangs.com/3dprintingworld/Collapsing-Master-Sword-Dual-Extrusion-36377
I printed the test print, is it meant to just fall apart? like when i try to extend it, it just falls through
The test print is not designed to catch. The parts should be free of each other. Make sure there is clearance and no strings between layer seams.

Have you calibrated your extrusion width? Increasing your extrusion multiplier should fix it.
Considered starting with the version with the removable blade first in case there is a issue with the blade, you wont have to reprint the entire thing. https://thangs.com/3dprintingworld/Collapsing-Master-Sword-with-Replaceable-Blade-35659
I've been waiting for this! Thanks!
Did you use supports ? The area on top of the hilt seems pretty steep.
Nope, supports are not required.
