1:57 I’m having troubles here, I’ve built and rebuilt this thing dozens of times making sure I haven’t done anything wrong but every time the blade hardly ejects. It inner blade will go out about half and inch and just get stuck and I have to push the blade back in. Do you know if this is some kind of sanding problem maybe or is there some step I may have missed?
@TheMakuta345

Yeah it's most likely sanding, even the smallest amount of friction stops this thing working, could also need stronger elastic. I've got a v.2 rattling around my PC that does away with friction and elastic problems but I lost a lot of motivation for finishing it when Odyssey came out and sucked and more so when Valhala continued the trend.

@TheMakuta345

You have to find a happy medium honestly, the wheel will always be a little hard to turn but you should be able to do it. The next version should have a lighter blade so you don't need as strong elastic and it should use a spring for the rack which will help too.

Sanding rubberbands just brakes them. What is precisely happening? A mistake you might have done is that the rubber band for the 2nd tier blade is too thick and makes a lot of friction with the casing. Try using dental bands and it should be working fine. Another problem is that you didn't set up the locks correctly and they don't catch on the blade when it's retracted, or maybe a print issue made them too small and they don't get contacted by the slider. Last thing that may be stopping the blade is that you sanded down too much at the bottom the kickers (the rubberband loaded parts on the slider). Hope this helps :D

I'm currently working through a version 2 based on ImDeePain's pulley system blade as I found that the OTF design requires too much maintenance and isn't the most reliable. The upgrades I could make to it would mainly just be to replace elastic with springs to stop the blade needing so much maintenance however it would still have a few issues like gravity and wear and tear. The v2 design is currently at about 30% or so done but I'm hoping to get it done before Christmas.

Sandpaper is your friend, though I will concede that these kind of mechanisms are outdated at this point. As shown in the video it will work but it's not an easy project to make. Keep sanding things down, it's far less about your rubber bands and more the reduction of friction.

@@TheMakuta345 have you made any further progress on your v2? I'm a fan of imdeepain and love his designs, particularly the extended blade. Your design here is very impressive as well!! My only complaint would be how bulky it is but regardless its amazing work and mechanics.

@@SuperTommy117 I've put it on hold for now since Christmas is around the corner but I do have a current prototype which is much slimmer and otherwise ready, I just need to resolve the rack and pinion section as the gear teeth are currently too fine to print.

It is real cool) I make it too, but I have any problem. Blade hard move, it's difficult

Use sand paper on it, it will need sanding down

Is the vambrace realistic? Like, if you replace the blade with metal and use it in combat will it break?
Could you make a more in depth video or step by step pictures

I do have some worded instructions on the thingiverse page for this creation however I think I'd prefer to save a more in depth explanation for when I finally get around to finishing and publishing the perfected version instead, as this one is a very much beta product.

Unfortunately not sure but when I do I intend to make a few modular versions such as the pivot blade and various aesthetic differences for the blade and cover plate.

You can find all of the information by downloading the files and seeing for yourself. The blade should fit the lengths of most arms but again the best way to find out is to follow the link in the description and measure it yourself.
Sweeet!.
the ejection mechanism of the blade sucks. I tried making this blade twice and it always encountered the same problem. Despite the use of the strongest rubber bands, the blade does not extend even halfway. Wasted time and money ...

Sandpaper is your friend, though I will concede that these kind of mechanisms are outdated at this point. As shown in the video it will work but it's not an easy project to make. Keep sanding things down, it's far less about your rubber bands and more the reduction of friction.

@@TheMakuta345 the problem was that I was grinding for many hours. It moved very gently. The problem was in the rubber bands, which are too weak to eject the blade. Also, the rubber surrounding the blade itself is too thick and blocks the main body. Regards😃
