Tanto Balisong, Tweaked for Trick Flips

prusaprinters

<p>Very cool original design. My son wanted it to open and close fluidly so I needed to mod a bit.</p> <p>I widened the handles to allow for more clearance between the knife and the frame (0.4mm per side).<br/> Added a hole to put bolts in for weight (M4x5mm I think).<br/> Reinforced the area where the knife blade contacts the handles as my original print was prone to breaking there. The little hole allows for a finishing nail or similar to take the load of the blade snapping open.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Geeetech A10M</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>25% Gyroid</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hello3D PLA Magic Coal, Grey and Silk Blue mixed 50-50% for the handles <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Printed the handles on their sides to have good strength lines around the pins. A little bit of work to get the supports out, but made easier my 'not supporting bridges'.</p></div></p> </p></p> Category: Toys &amp; Games
