Percy Jackson's Riptide Sword
Description
This is an internal remix of riojaonly's Riptide sword. Rio's design had a great exterior, but the connections left the sword very loose when put together. I redesigned the connections, changing the Rio's design with tabs off the end of pieces to insert into the next piece, to rectangular dowels that are printed separately. The dowels stick further into the pieces and fit more snugly, especially along the flat edges, to provide better connection for glueing. I also extended a dowel from the grip, through the cross guard, into the first blade piece to improve the connection between the grip and cross guard. (Note: when removing supports from the cross guard, the vertical decorative pieces broke off. You can add additional support to these pieces, but I found that a clean break allowed them to be glued directly to the blade, for a better connection.)
