Thanks I'm glad you like it! Just keep in mind that this is a WiP design, it works but will need a lot of maintenance. The final version will come out when I've made sure any areas of constant maintenance have been solved, but other things like work are getting in the way in the meantime.

Hi, I know I'm late, but I don't get where to put the clear band for the inner blades, could you explain if it goes on top of the blade lock on the outside? Or inside between the blade lock and the inner blade? Or am i missing something?

@nickbutler9831

Hopefully you see this. I assume you mean the sliding blade on the inside. The clear bang goes in the groove on the outer blade then the little locking tabs go over the top of the elastic

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

Жыл бұрын

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.

How did you get the look for the blade? it looks very soft. No layer stripes visible. Did you use Cura?

Where did you buy the leather thing in the images on thingiverse?

on the plate that goes on top of the blade, after i did the part up until the little flipper things, i cant make the blade extend. I keep trying again, but i cant seem to find a solution to why the blade wont extend after adding the rubberbands to the flipper things after the middleplate.

by the blade wont extend, i mean that only a tip of the blade pops out, it doesn't come out fully; i can pull out the blade and it doesnt retract back until i pull the thing back, like it should. My only problem is that the tip only extends to about a centimeter out of the bade

the sliding rack at 2:33. does it matter which side it goes on? because one of the studs the rubber band holds onto will not print at all. so i have to put it on the other side. from what it looks like it will not change anything?

Hi, where can i contact you?

I faced a some kind of paradox there. You should use strong enough rubber to make it work against gravity, but then it creates extremly high momentum on the wheel, so its almost impossible to turn it. How do u make it move so easily?=(

@TheMakuta345

4 жыл бұрын

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.

Hi, I printed your blade, and after sanding every part and put everything as in the video, the blade does not move at all. The blade unsheats for a couple of cms at maximum. I don't get where's the mistake.

@TheMakuta345

3 жыл бұрын

If it doesn't move at all then there's something blocking it, if it moves when pulled but not when using the mechanism then there's too much friction somewhere.

@papycoima

3 жыл бұрын

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 having a problem with the blade lock when I print it the hole isn’t big enough so the paper clip won’t fit and if I try to widen it the lock bends. Any ideas on what I should do?

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.
