Collapsing Enma Sword (Patreon)

From One Piece its Zoro's sword Enma!

There are five version of this sword:

• Print-in-Place Single Color

• Print-in-Place Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)

• Replaceable Blade Single Color

• Replaceable Blade Multi-Color (requires a MMU, AMS, IDEX, or Toolchanger)

• Replaceable Blade Single Extruder Multi-Part

The cap on the replaceable blade versions are not glued on but are removable by squeezing its sides so the blades then can be printed separately then inserted or replaced. I found this cap harder to remove than the others for some reason. Maybe it was the filament I used or the rings under the cap. Also the flower probably doesn’t help. Make sure you press hard at the bottom middle of the cap.

I achieved multiple colors with the multi-part version with manual filament swaps. I added support under the guard, technically it could bridge fine without supports but I did not want to risk it.

For best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time 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.
