THWOK!! That's the sound of the sax knife from Ranger's Apprentice meeting a tree trunk! Yes, it can be thrown, just ask Will.
I designed this sax knife based carefully off the descriptions found in the series, and modelled this specific item off a whittled knife design made many years ago. NOTE: This is too big to fit an Ender 3 sized printer, so there is an ender 3 friendly scaled version also, check that one out (you can't simply scale this one down).
This was intended to be printed in relatively hard TPU, which it did phenominally well!
I printed it in the upright position, so the base of the handle was touching the buildplate, and the tip was printed last. No support material anywhere, but a slower than normal print will work best, due to the sheer height of the item.
Before attempting this TPU print, I designed and printed these TPU tests to ensure I was prepared and calibrated: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5317395 .
I also have 2 versions of the throwing kni
