I started redesigning my ever popular Master Sword Fidget Toy recently. I preferred the feel of my katanas to the master sword and wanted to figure out why.

Well, the answer was the angle of the blade. I had the blade of the Master Sword set very wide with a lot of surface area. So I reduced the angle down a bit. Now it slides in and out much easier.

I also took a new method for generating the sheath, using a boolean to create it verses drawing it from a sketch and trying to sync up the angles. This also greatly helped with the fit. It may even be a touch too loose now.

But thats when the 4 magnet come in. My co-worker lamented on how short they were in his large hands and how hard it was to use. But he still loved to use them. So i decided to make it longer and to put more magnets inside. And boy does it help.

It makes the ratcheting effect stronger. Makes it springier, and just overall makes it chunkier. With some nice Thunks when you slip it in and out.

I also really wanted to do a wide hilt instead of the slim one. But the wide ones always broke. Then i discovered that PLA Pro is pretty dang strong. Strong enough not to break when it hits a hard floor. Now with my new found material. I felt confident in making the wide hilt.

If you do print the wide hilt. Try printing it out of tougher material. Regular PLA breaks pretty easy.

This will need 16 6x3mm magnets. When gluing the magnets its important that their poles are all in the same direction.

Like all my models i make this free. You can even find the source files on my onshape if you are so inclined to make edits yourself. And its even free to market but please credit the source when you do.

Thank you.
