Collapsing Katana V2 (Multi-Part)

This version of the katana can be printed in full color with a single extrusion printer. It has a spring loaded cap so the blades can be printed separately then inserted or replaced. 

You can achieve the extra colors with some manual filament swaps. External supports are not required, there is a support at the very top of the wrap that will need to be removed. The angle on the wrap is more than I typically design for. For best results, print the wrap slow at a low layer height. For best results use a .4mm nozzle.
