A simple stylized butterfly knife designed for 3D printing, for use in practice, and as a fidget toy.
Model units: mm
Instructions:
- Enable supports only for the blade, other parts do not require supports
- Print dowels sideways (laying on the curved face) if printing in weaker materials (PLA/PETG) to ensure the dowels stay intact through use
- (Suggested): 100% infill for maximum durability
- Not much else, just optimize for your own printer and filament.
- Sand down parts to ensure smooth use (or adjust printer tolerances)
- Glue dowels in place, ensure glue ONLY touches handles and does not contact blade
- (Very much encouraged): sharpen the blade, only suggested for stronger materials
Total printed parts: 1 blade, 2 handles, 2 big dowels, 2 small dowels
