Summary

This sword was design by DETHU Guillaume. Yes, i have the authorautorization for making these modifications and for this share with thecommunity. So many thanks to DETHU Guillaume.

This sword design was inspired in the Bride's katana from Kill Bill movies.

I originally started this project has a gift for a great friend who loves thesethings. To make it more 3D printable i made some changes on the originalCAD files. Reinforced some weak points and created an internalreinforcement system with M3 Rods to be able to handle the sword.

Present in thingiverse with ... thing:3561403 There is a picture with thepart list and the instructions to assembly.

You will need 1,5meter of M3 rods, 2x M3x35mm FlatHead screws, a goodquality plastic glue, at least 2-3 sandpapers with different grain, somecans of spray paint to your liking and most importantly alot of time andpatience.

Print the blade and scabard in ABS or ASA to be able to sand it. Assembleit first and sand it several times to remove any imperfections or glue spotsand marks. Use epoxy resin or repair putty if you need in any majorimperfections, repeat the sanding. Only paint those two parts when yourhappy with the smoothness of all the length.

I printed the blade and scabard in Fillamentum ASA. The remaining partswhre printed in PLA from Fillamentum. Ivory for the Handle, Collars andPommel in Gold Happens and the guard in Vertigo Grey.

For the handle i used some cord i bought on aliexpress (search for "ItoRope") mine had 1cm width and 420cm of lenght. For the wraping go toyoutube and search for "ito wrapping tutorial" fill yourself with patienceand wrap away... (i used cheats and holded the wraping with sewing pinsto help). But you can do this part differently and with other materials.

For the sword rack i used a simple wooden board and two supports idesigned. I used 450x130mm but you can go bigger if you like. Paint theboard or protect with some varnish to your liking. Print the 2x sword rackthingys, be sure to try out the best position to hold the sword beforescrewing the thingys to the board. I used some velcro tape (soft/loop side)to protect the sword from any scratches.

Warning: Tell your friends SEVERAL TIMES that this is not a real sword toswing around violently. (even if they secretly had ninja training orsomething) ;)The internal reinforcements help alot on the general resistence andhandling but they don't do miracles. Its a prop sword it will surelly break ifyou use it for showmanship of sword skills.

Sigh..... Yeah you probably guessed it, the sword i made got broken in amore enthusiastic display of the ninja skills from the person who receivedit. Glue again, alot of sanding repaint and its now fixed! ;)
