Visually, it's a really nice sword. Printed in about 4 hours or so, at 75%. (100% wouldn't fit my build plate depending on orientation, and wanted 10+ hours. Yikes.)

However, I also have the lines on each tube, and they do like to come flying out of the handle. I even reprinted the bottom one slightly larger and gently heated the bottom of it to soften it just enough to fit back in the handle (and of course, let cool) and it still just keeps chuckin' the pieces of the blade across the room.

I see comments about tape, I can see why that might work, but I wonder if a V.2/V.3 (I'm not sure what iteration this is on) might be able to have a small lip on each tube to catch the other, something of that nature (I could absolutely be wrong, I can't figure out how to design a dang thing lol.)

Still, it's a great looking sword, I think it has a lot of potential.

I tried the print in place version, and the parts slide out of each other. It prints just fine, but its too loose. Other print in place swords work just fine, and I've made sure my printer is calibrated. It's a cool looking sword!

Hi, i am a beginner at 3d modeling and was wondering if you could tell me how you made a collapsible sword ?

Hello, All you have to do is draw tubes that fit into each other with different diameters on one side and the other. Just print the tubes from my model to understand how they work!

which files should I print, there are 14 in 11 3D designs and 3 step, but do I have to print all 11

Sorry for the late reply. It's up to you if you print the single part version in which case you just need to print the Sword_BXN_Print_In_Place.stl file. Or if you want to print a removable version in which case you can print either all the tubes one by one or all the tubes together and the body of the sword next to it.

Printed on a Bambu P1S, and like many others have reported, the sword pieces just fall right out.

Hello, I am sorry that you are having problems with my model. However I would like to know where you see the "many others" s saying that they are having problems?
If your machine is well adjusted, the model works perfectly.
I would not make any modifications to overcome problems related to the machine or the .

I invite you to measure the outside diameter of the tubes:
Tube 6 - diameter 1: 44.2mm - Diameter 2: 40.5mm
Tube 5 - diameter 1: 38.6mm - Diameter 2: 34.9mm
Tube 4 - diameter 1: 33mm - Diameter 2: 29.3mm
Tube 3 - diameter 1: 27.4mm - Diameter 2: 23.7mm
Tube 2 - diameter 1: 21.8mm - Diameter 2: 18.1mm
Tube 1 - diameter 1: 16.2mm - Diameter 2: 12.5mm

If you have the right measurements: then I don't understand where your problem could come from, mechanically the tubes cannot escape! (unless you put all your strength into it)

If you don't have the right measurements: adjust your machine.

I meant no offense and was referring to the comments below having the same problem. I see now it was only a couple of others who commented with this issue. One of them, also using a P1S, suggested using tape around the outside of the tubes to reduce the spacing and fix the issue. While this did not work for me, I was able to fix mine by applying electrical tape to the insides of the ends of the tube, instead. This was much less visible, and also had enough depth and friction to catch each tube. As to your request to measure the tubes: now that my problem has been resolved, I cannot access the enclosed half of the tubes to measure. Thank you for your quick response and for your work on such a great model! It really is a great design!

Using tape to thicken it is a solution to avoid throwing away the printed model. I personally have a FLsun SR / Prusa Mk3s+ / creality Cr10SproV2 / Bambulab X1C and the model prints and works with each of these machines.
I also saw that another P1S had this problem but I think you have a problem adjusting the extruder or the flow: mechanically the tubes cannot fall: they have a funnel shape and are blocks about 2 cm before escaping.
I invite you to check the extrusion settings of your machine: print test objects and measure them to that your machine is properly calibrated. I know that the P1S does not have the LIDAR sensor for calibrating the extrusion. I think that you must therefore at least adjust the extrusion flow rate yourself.
I'm sorry for my somewhat "dry" response and thank you for printing my model.

I have never try, you should be able to print it with resin Printer : try and give us ! I think only in miniature not at 1:1

I believe they want to know if you used horizontal expansion to print it in only one piece.

Awesome design, by the way. And thank you for providing it for free.

Sorry for the late reply.
No I did not use horizontal expansion to print it in only one piece.
So I don't know if it's possible to do that.

Printed it on my Bambu Lab P1s as "print in place" and as i took it off the plate it falls apart... every segment falls down with no ease.
Printed is well calibrated, filament was perfectly dry, layer hight was 0.2... it sucks

Had to put one round of tape around every segment, so it doenst fall apart... its just a mikrometer, but it doenst fit... your sword is too loose

Brixodin

Hello, my Sword isn't too loose, please calibrate your printer and try again. And wash your plate before print if it don't stick well to the build plate.

Hey, could you please tell me more about the issue you have with the sword ? Does your printer is well calibrated (step/mm, flow rate, temperature, ...) ?

Hey, it could be my fault I am new to 3D printing but the tube closest to the handle and the final tube (tip of the sword) fall out very easily, everything seems to be calibrated ok, I might try printing the two tubes that are giving me issues separately and see if that solves the problem

What settings do you print with? I"m new to 3D printing, and am not sure what I should change, or leave default. :O

I can give you the basic parameters but each parameter is specific to each person's machine.
Layer height : 0.2 or 0.28 // No // wall count : 2 or 3 // Infill : gyroïde 20 or 25%
Please be sure your machine and your filament is well calibrated (temperature, e-step, flow rate, retraction, ...)

hey I'm having an issue with the print in place model. I've printed it but there's this line in the middle connected to all the layers and its just not letting me open the sword, any help with this issue?

Hey, please could you send me some photos of the "line in the middle connected to all the layers" ? It's seem weird there is no reason that there are this line. May be the STL file is corrupted ? my email : @brixodin3d.fr

Do you recommend the print in place or would i get better results by printing separately?

Hey, I recommend to print it separately because if it fail you have less trash and if you broke any piece you could be able to replace it.

when using the print in place option, do I only slice the one file? Also, would I position it so that the part where the 'blade' comes out is on the plate?

Hey, yes exactly ! You can see the right position in the images. For the print-in-place option you have juste one file to slice and the part where the blade comes out on the plate.

Hi there! How are we meant to position this on the build plate? With the handle facing down towards the plate?
