Print in Place Balisong

This is a print in place balisong. I've included a version with and without supports, if you want to add your own. It is also a good reference to know what is a support and what isn't.

Make sure your printer is good with overhangs, this might be testing the limits of your printer.

So far, I've printed with a Monoprice Mini V2 at 0.35mm layer height (yellow) and and Ultimaker S5 at 0.15 layer height (red), with reasonable success. The overhang parts got a little droopy, but a little sanding should fix that.

Notes:

Finer layer height should look better and make the overhangs more reliable.

Make sure printer cooling is on.

Post-Printing

After its printed, just snip off the supports. You might need to sand down the round parts of the handles so that they don't get caught on each other.
