This is a decorative sword meant to show off the capabilities of additive manufacturing. The blades are rather fragile (2 walls thick) and will break if you are rough with it. Please let me know if you have any questions or troubles with the print!

The tip is fragile so please be careful when reinserting it back into the handle. 

DO NOT ENABLE SUPPORTS! If you enable supports because it will put supports internally and the part will not function.

Depending on the filament quality (how wet it is) and the initial layer squish, some of the segments might have their first layer fused together. The simple fix is taking an X-Acto knife and sliding it between the segments to free them up. Shown in image below.
