Level 2/3 Access Kurgans Briefcase Sword Prop V1. (Patreon)

Okay after much re-fitting of parts I am 99.9 percent sure this thing is ready to print!

I have printed most parts of it, I ended up splitting the hilt into 4 pieces so it could be printed upright as I wasnt happy with the big flat print with alot of support underneath  - BUT.. included are Hilts Part 1 and 2 which are uncut if you desire to print them in 2 pieces.

The switchblade mechanism is manual for the moment, i'll work on a spring modification if I can find some time. Thankfully due to its modular design, I can just print and replace the hilts with new versions.

I debated putting channels all the way through the blade, and might do for a V2 iteration but we'll see if this thing holds stable at all. The parts are not too long that they will be flimsy and the connecting rods are designed to print flat not upright, so they should hold the weight.

PDF is attached below and in the zip for assembly instructions.

Also, this was started some time ago and I released a teaser video. The handy thing about that video is not much changed in the switchblade assembly, so it shows you a good closeup of the simple workings of it.
