This version of the sword has been broken down to different parts so they can be printed separately in different colors then glued together. The cap is not glued on but is removable by squeezing its sides, the blades then can be printed separately and inserted or replaced. I achieved a different color guard with a manual filament swap.
Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website.
I used Gorilla Glue (aff.) to glue mine together.
