Re: 3D print ONE PIECE handle?

possible, but one piece handle is overly complicated.
the blade would need to be in exact 6D alignment at the "pause" for the immediate covering layer
to adhere to metal (0.2mm in Z), but not so close to cause nozzle collision/damage on super-metal edges.
I've embedded magnets during a pause, but ...

Re: Coyote Attacks Increasing: How to stop them?

Trapping is best (24/7), when possible, when done right.

Re: 3D print sheath

think this version latch is the winner.
its easier and safer to unlatch when extracting.
has same fit characteristics vs blade shape/size as previous version.
olive wood scales on SPY27 mule and other is AEB-L.

Re: 3D print sheath

update ::
1st pic below, M398, AEB-L, SPY27, 15V mules, each fits a little different.
Overall blade size/shape and scale thickness are the issues.
AEB-L is a loose fit, next SPY27 a tad loose, others ok.
Scale/handle thickness can be adjusted for by the hot-air gun bend, out then back up.
Custom ...

Re: 3D print sheath

Great idea ChadR, as usual, there are complications, one is my current design is split in the slicer.
Will look at a redo to split in FreeCad, plus add the retaining tabs - may take a while, but worth it !
------------
I printed the suggested sheath with tabs for a reference.
After a closer look at ...

Re: Will MagnaMax be the next Mule?

carter: "Mule_Handle_V2_v2.stl" was in "https://www.printables.com/model/383982 ... erco-mules"
In my slicer: (1) thickened (20% Z only), (2) added a thumb cutout, (3) filled in the first hole (4) added fuzz.

Re: Will MagnaMax be the next Mule?

I've used this AEB-L mule on veggies for almost a year, re-sharpened it once & no rust yet.
Scales are 3DP PETG, slicer modified www download, added surface fuzz and thumb cutouts.
Wash with hot water & soap & wipe dry.

Re: CPM Prototype Steel

a CPM-X challenge coin is intriguing idea.
If not familiar with its history or current tradition - its worth a www search.
Coin needs the spydie logo, maybe flip side.

don't think it rates among the military coins, but it should do well at a knife convention, like
