BYOK #8
Added 2025-02-02 15:59:54 +0000 UTCThe eighth addition of Build Your Own Katana might just be my favorite! Its also the first one to have a multi-color version. I may go back and colorize some of the previous versions because I really like the way it turned out. I like that you can print the guard and cap in different colors and not waist much filament.
If you are not familiar, BYOK is a series of katana's where the guards, wraps and pommels are interchangeable so you can build your own katana with different parts. This is the multi-part style so the parts can be printed separately in different colors. Once assembled, the pommel holds it all together without glue.
Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website. 3MF included for the multi-color version.
Printed with Polymaker Metallic Pro PLA
