ATLAS Safety Tip

ATLAS Safety Tip 3D-Printable Protective Tip for HEMA Blades Designed by CamarellArts – refined with community feedback 🧩 About the Project The ATLAS Safety Tip is an open-source, 3D-printable fencing tip developed for thrust-heavy historical fencing weapons like rapiers and sideswords. It’s designed to improve safety without compromising control or handling – for sparring, tournaments, or training. Whether you're a fencer, club organizer, or tournament host, these tips offer a minimalist, reliable, and field-tested solution. 🧵 Material Recommendations & Print Notes Preferred Setup (Multi-material Composite): Tip surface (first ~1 mm): → PCTG (e.g., extrudr PCTG) Durable, impact-resistant, and low-friction – ideal for safe contact with fencing masks. Body: → TPU ~95A (e.g., extrudr Medium Flex) Flexible and medium-soft – ensures a secure grip on the blade while absorbing impact. You may also print the tip entirely in TPU. In this case, a medium-soft TPU has shown the best results. It
