The slot in the handle is 15mm by 15mm, the point of the handle is to be used for a wooden sword (although a metal blade would work too but you will have diffuculty making a 15mm by 15mm tang)
so if you make a wooden sword its tang must me 15mm by 15mm, the lenth of the tang will depend on the guard
I will also model a guard for this handle later
I have not yet printed it so yeah
the handle is 180 mm long
the wooden handle I turned on a lathe is very comfortable but the round design offerns no practicality for edge alignment
so I made an extra stl file with a flat surface on the side of the handle if you want that
Infill? I reccomend high percentage to make the handle durable
you'll want to glue the handle to the tang with 2 part apoxy resin glue same as knife smiths use
and I reccomend ruffing up the inside of the tang slot with low grit (course) sanding paper so that the glue can adhere
(be sure to wear a face mask that can filter VOC's when sanding plastics)
Also there are holes
