Broad Sword Letter Opener

thingiverse

This was me taking a stab (hehe) at designing something from scratch. It's not meant to be some kind of historic reproduction obviously but really a chance for me to see what I could do with Tinkercad. This is admitted very much a novice effort. You will notice that the hilt in the STL file is different from the one in the picture. A coworker pointed out to me that the ends of the guard were upside down so I fixed them. The scabbard is a bit clunky and at some point when I make version 2.0 I'll try to make it a little more elegant. At any rate, it actually functions as a decent letter opener. Print Settings Printer: DaVinci Jr. Rafts: No Supports: Yes Notes: You will probably need supports when you print the blade, but other than that they should not be necessary. Post-Printing You may find it necessary to trim down the part of the blade that fits into the hilt. Mine was a pretty tight fit. How I Designed This Designed using Tinkercad.
