More Rigid Sheath (Master Sword - Legend of Zelda)
Description
###Description This is the sheath for the master sword: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1465131 I tried to print the original version, but it kept falling apart even with slight bumps and low falls. I remixed the sheath to add holes for two M4 metal rods to go through pieces 2-7, for more structural support. There are also holes for four screws to attach piece 1 to piece 2. I'm not sure if they'll be needed, but they're there just in case. ###Materials: * Pieces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (stls are attached) * 12x pins from the master sword design, (I printed mine at 87%) * 2x M4 or 1/8" threaded metal rod: 600 to 615mm long (3/16" might fit but will be super tight) * 4x compatible nuts * 2x foam cap or something to keep the metal rod from bumping into the sword and scratching its paint * foam strips for the inside of the bottom piece (7) * 4x screws (not sure what size yet, but the holes are 2mm in diameter and 27mm (1") long) ###Disclaimer * I have not printed or tested this yet, so I don't know if it will work or if everything will fit together. * The holes in these pieces are not symmetrical on both sides, so you will need to make sure they are in the correct orientation * You must use the assembly order below, or your sheath will be impossible to finish assembling. ###Assembly: * (optional) glue a few pieces of foam to the inside of the bottom piece (7) so that it will cushion the sword when it is fully sheathed * First, attach the bottom (piece 7) to the metal rods using both rods and two nuts * Before attaching the next piece, test fit the remaining pieces to make sure the rod is the correct length. You want most of the excess length on the bottom (piece 7) rather than on top (piece 2) * Work your way from the bottom to the top. For each piece, place the two pins and push the piece down the rods until they meet. If you want to use glue, now is your chance. Note that the holes might not be symmetrical, so make sure the orientation is correct. * Once pieces 2 - 7 are in place on the rods, use the two remaining nuts and tighten the rods in place. There should not be very much exposed length of the rods. * Place some foam or something over the nuts and exposed portion of the rods, in order to prevent them from scratching the sword * Place the pins and line up piece 1. Make sure the screw holes are lined up properly. They are not perfectly symmetrical, so you will need to make sure the orientation is correct. * Screw the top piece (1) in place with the four screws ###Post-processing * Assemble first * Sand & paint
