V2 IS HERE!

after countless months, I've finally gotten enough courage to upload my updated design for the balisong butterfly trainer knife.

I've done multipule things to the design, here's a list of what I've done:

  • given it a latch so that you can lock the balisong open or closed, with multiple sizes available.
  • slightly adjusted the blade so that it looks more natural and overall better.
  • gotten rid of the pin, and replaced it with a nib on the blade itself, so that there is less parts to print, as well as looking more sleek.
  • I've oversized the pins so that the pins don't break under high falls and sudden impacts.
  • adjusted all the designs so that it should have less tolerance and therefore less slop in general use, while also making it easier to print and assemble.
  • weight balance is better so it should be easier to flip and do tricks(for me at least)
  • made a hair comb blade, cause you gotta look cool while flipping.
  • honestly, just have fun flipping because I've run out of other ideas (plz comment!)

Notes:

would recommend printing at 100% infill for best flipping experience, doesn't matter which way you print the handle, but the current orientation is the most consistent to print, and only print at other orientations if you have a well calibrated machine.

HAIR COMB IS A TORTURE TEST, PRINT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
