Sandai Kitetsu Collapsing Katana

The wrap prints with the hilt in this version so they don't need to be glued together like is done with the multi-part version. The hilt prints all at once but the pommel is not glued on but is removable by squeezing its sides. The blades then can be printed separately then inserted or replaced. 

Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. The blades can be printed all at once concentrically or individually in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website.
