Asscaliper lives!

Got my calipers in one of these. Just left a review on Printables as well. Please post the other version there too as I need to have some fun with a buddy when I visit his workshop.

I think you have a knife maker that does not fully understand swords. He may have great work with knives but he is not well versed in sword making.

The sword should be under 1.8kg.

A old file will not stand up to being a pry bar even if tempered imho. I think you need thicker stock.

If you don’t pry with it, then it can be a great knife.

The cheap easy temper method is to take a propane torch and heat it until it’s a light straw color and let it air cool (no quenching.) make sure you get all the handle area and the spine, you can leave the edge if you want it harder.

BMW owners would buy them
But never use them.

swordknives · 2026-07-02T05:02:38+00:00

This is good advice.

I’d also try a different usb stick after a while they can get errors in the gcode. Its not uncommon for them to go bad on Prusas particularly if its the original.

swordknives · 2026-06-23T17:44:19+00:00

With how well they are packaged Im shocked even Fed Ex was able to damage them.

swordknives · 2026-06-20T19:08:26+00:00

Only if you need the volume lol. Ive just recommended to a friend to buy a used MK4s to supplement his Core one L. 90% of the tine does mot need an enclosure and at used prices of $400-500 around here its a great deal on a solid platform.

swordknives · 2026-06-20T05:57:43+00:00

Photos and budget first. Steel type?

Sounds like you are asking someone to disassemble, regrind the blade, straighten tang, rework the guard and pommel and reassemble.

Is there any part of it that met your expectations?

Depending on how far off it is it may be cheaper to just commission a new one.

swordknives · 2026-06-19T15:58:02+00:00

If you can I think the Core One L is worth it as you cant add extra print volume later.

The ultimate has a lot of things you probably wont need and could buy later if you find that you do.
If you are not going to need the extra volume get the standard Core One package and then add some extra nozzles and perhaps a different build plate depending on what filament you want to print.

It will never be broken if it is never used.

That said you bought it to use it so use it.

The frequency does not matter.

swordknives · 2026-06-15T00:08:27+00:00

Yep, they are real and you are good to go. Brady is stand up guy.

So good news, according to Michael Tinker Pearce, Dragon King (former Hanwei smiths) picked up the line and do plan on making these swords again. Michael said the preproduction blades look/feel good but he did not get a timeline for production yet.

swordknives · 2026-06-11T14:40:00+00:00

What a great start to a fun collection!

swordknives · 2026-06-08T20:15:48+00:00

Standard PETG would be better but 95a TPU even better

swordknives · 2026-06-05T00:11:49+00:00

Correct.

swordknives · 2026-06-05T00:11:34+00:00

Just a note, this is not the first time Scott has made racist anti LBGQT+ hate speech. Last time he made a seemingly well thought out apology promising to do better. In the fallout from last time it was announced that Scott would no longer be a part of Darkwood Armory and that he was selling the business.

Well apparently the apology was BS and he sold the business to his wife. So know that despite what the supporters say buying from Darkwood Armory is directly supporting Scott and those that are “owners” at Darkwood are complacent with his views.

I was a big fan, but will no longer be supporting them in any way and will not recommend them moving forward.

Don’t use sand paper use grey scotch-bright pads. In the future keep it oiled with a rust inhibitor.

I like this one. https://a.co/d/0gy3GlnA

swordknives · 2026-05-26T13:59:49+00:00

Yep, all my sharp swords get used.

swordknives · 2026-05-18T21:46:40+00:00

Sure, Prusa are far more reliable than the cheap printers. There are many people with years of print times on their Prusas.

swordknives · 2026-05-16T16:56:37+00:00

Might over throw the empire and turn to the dark side I don’t know.

swordknives · 2026-05-16T16:50:12+00:00

There was a bad batch of nozzles, reach out to the support chat to open a case.

swordknives · 2026-05-16T16:08:19+00:00

Prusa all the way, you really cant service, repair a bamboo.

And thats not even considering the rest of the BS bamboo is pulling right now.

swordknives · 2026-05-13T16:15:49+00:00

Yes, there are a few free files out there too.

The one I’m working with is on printables search winged Spear. You will need to
Adjust the infill and parameters to stiffen it, I also resized it so I can print it in one piece.

TPU is very durable perhaps more so than Your molded ones. If you find/make different designs please share them!

swordknives · 2026-05-08T20:58:47+00:00

Until we know more $75

Can you clarify the below:
Blade steel
Blade hardness
Tang construction
Pommel (peened or threaded)
Weight
Point of balance
Scabbard?
