Bayonet Whip / Dragons Tongue

With this project I recycled early prototypes of my bayonet blade from the HEMA musket project. It is modeled after original 1800s british musket bayonets with an enlonguedback portion to reach a Length of 60cm. Print the blade from TPU and the grup from PLA. The blade needs to be cut to pieces to fit onto the A1 mini. Tu glue them together, wet the glueing surfaces with water, let the moisture soak in for ~5min and wipe it off again. Then you can use instant glue [e.g. this one] push the sides together and hold them for some time. Superglue bonds with moisture, which is a problem with dried-out TPU, therefore we have to re-introduce moisture.
Plate 2 contains the complete blade, plate 3 provides an additional extension piece, if you want more than 60cm of reach.

If you want higher details for the grip, turn on Supports.

Have fun :)
