BYOK (Build Your Own Katana) (Patreon)

This is my new series of katana's where the guards, wraps and pommels are interchangeable so you can build your own katana. This is the multi-part style so the parts can be printed separately in different colors. Once assembled, the pommel holds it all together without glue.

Because of overhang reasons, the wraps are hard to design for. I used a slightly steeper 40 degree angle versus the 45 degree angle I normally use. This was just to avoid the opening being square. As a result, its much easier to print than the wrap on Katana V2 but you'll still need good cooling.

Supports are not required, 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.
