Fingertech Viper custom spinning blade

thingiverse

Here's my first custom blade for the Fingertech Viper combat robot. I wanted to have a go at designing and printing my own weapons and modifications for the Viper. I have attached some photos and a video of the blade in action. To test, I printed the blade in PLA, meaning that it wasn't incredibly strong. It did however manage to survive 4 minutes of testing. I'm going to try and print it in either ABS or PETG soon. The blade attaches to the Fingertech blade hub with ease. It stayed tightly attached for the duration of the test. Plastic blades aren't going to be much use in combat (especially against metal). However, they are much safer to test and operate outside of a proper combat arena. These are being designed for use in educational projects. Video of the blade being tested: https://youtu.be/-WfSoFx3tHY https://youtu.be/-WfSoFx3tHY
