I'm finally getting around to messing with this stuff. Now I can balisong in the dark.

Step 2 is determining how badly all the particles of gumf in this filament negatively impact the mechanical strength.

Edit: I probably should have said this in the first place, but this is Overture green glow PLA.

The model is my Rockhopper balisong utility knife. Go check it out -- it's fully printable, even the hardware.

Oh it's a butterfly knife. Why the hell is it called "balisong" and who came up with such a stupid sounding name for it?

Ask the Filipinos, who are the ones who both invented and named it. "Butterfly knife" is a western neologism for it.
