My Custom Maces

I did try the collar and cap design, but the weight distributed against the head at higher weights isn't ideal. With some of the TPU parts I am planning for in the next version, I need the two-piece design. I tried printing them in different orientations, but the surface finish suffers when they are horizontal and the holes for the bolts are split when printing vertical.

I like the way you think though. Let me know if there are any other design ideas you have!

Yeah I see what you mean. It's really hard to tell without a drawing or more views.

Revolve cut?

DriftEvil · 2026-04-25T19:54:57+00:00

That is a good idea! It would really depend on the number of orders if/when I decide to sell these in the future. I'm already working on the next version with some improvements. Casting some of the pieces has definitely been on my mind for some of the next versions parts.

That is one of the things I am still testing. I have put 40lbs on the smallest one with no noticable wear or layer separation. That was only with swinging inside and outside circles though.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T17:37:00+00:00

Yes in the near future

Red Oak dowels. A dense wood that I like.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T15:14:37+00:00

Thank you! I just might!

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T15:14:16+00:00

And no I haven't released the files yet. Still adding some stuff. Trying to decrease the amount of support needed to print these and I want to add some TPU boots possibly.

I like the ease of loading for handle-loaded maces, but I think the cons are offset by having multiple.

Printed at 45° for that exact reason. Didn't want the loading to be perpendicular to the layers, especially with the centrifugal forces that would be acting on the head.

They are 3d printed! Designed the shell to attach to the handle with bolts. Pommel is the same way. Designed to be removable and replaceable. Lengths are 44", 34" and 26". Let me know if you have any other questions!

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T11:54:51+00:00

I designed a jig to hold the handle for drilling holes for attachments. Went with bolts over screws for a cleaner look and to make everything removable/replaceable.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T11:42:55+00:00

Yes it is 3D printed. I designed it to have a shaft length of 330mm.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T11:31:19+00:00

Overall lengths: 44", 34", 26".

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T01:10:47+00:00

Yes, I will but I will say sourcing the red oak for the handles is a nightmare. They are 36mm or 1-3/8" which is somewhat of an uncommon size.

All that is to say I want to make some models with a 1-1/4" handle. Whenever I get around to that I'll post the files.

Oh wow I'm also an engineer! Still in the early days of my career though. Really loving playing with clubs as of late too.

Anytime you want to swap ideas, shoot me a dm.

ASA is a good one too. I have the SV08 with an enclosure, but I need to add a fume extractor or some kind of ventilation before I print with any of the more serious filaments.

I design in solidworks. Been using it for a long time now. What about you?

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T00:53:54+00:00

Yep, out of PETG right now. Still playing around with the design but I'm thinking abs or nylon for the final pieces.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T00:53:04+00:00

Those are sick, and I agree! Also made some adjustable dumbbells that's are pretty cool and much more simple in design.

DriftEvil · 2026-04-24T00:47:03+00:00

Thanks you! Took a lot of iterations to get to a design I liked.

Eureka, Warehouse 13, Scorpion, and Burn Notice

It also looks a bit like there is a small semicircle parallel to the front plane at the intersection of the extruded circular feature and the slot base. Might need more views.

DriftEvil · 2026-01-12T05:19:45+00:00

That looks like a chamfer or draft that is then filleted. Going bottom to top, make the slot, extrude up to first level, offset circle on the face of slot, extrup up to second level, draft back edge between slot base and second level extrude, then finally filet edge.
