pool noodle sword handle

This is my first attempt at designing and 3D-printing a handle for a pool-noodle sword. I also added a simple guard that prints as part of the handle to help it look more like a real sword and keep your hand from sliding up.This is an early prototype, so I’m mainly testing durability, comfort, and whether the crossguard is the right size. I’d love to hear if this initial design seems functional or if anything should be changed
