Ashitaka's Sword v2
Description
okay have to start off with, do not print this at double printer speed at 0.3mm layer height and only 2 walls. I was just too impatient and wanted to see how the grip looked. I accidentally broke the handle whilst sanding it, so have just glued it back together and done a quick paint job to show. I'll keep this as Work In Progress as I may change the way you print the grip to add more strength or whether just printing it normally is okay. Also going to see which orientation is best for the blade, just incase having the layers in line with the wooden core would work best or not. This version of the sword is based on the close up at around 90minutes in the film. which doesn't match, I rewatched the film after printing and uploading v1 of the sword and realised there are maybe 4 variations in design throughout the run time. but when i saw this cool pummel design of it folding back into the grip I knew I had to have a go. Overall length is about 70cm (shoulder to hip, for me based on the movie proportions against Ashitaka), Blade: 4x Blade & 1 Blade_Tip, Handle: 1x Spacer, 1x Handle_Upper & 1 Handle_Lower the close up shows the tang of the blade goes into the handle, so it's up to you whether you have that little gap between the blade and the handle This design has a 13mm tube running through the middle so that it's main structure comes from a 12mm wooden dowel which i picked up from a hardware store.
