Mech Short Sword

A short sword that knows whose it is.

Start with the shape: a tapered blade, a cross-guard, a wrapped grip, a red pommel block, white-and-yellow mech armor plating, and a blue gem set front and back. At roughly 350 × 148 × 27 mm with a short, broad blade, it sits comfortably in one hand — the proportions of a proper one-handed short sword.

Then look at the grip. The text on the hilt is fully customizable — the version shown here carries the designer's own name, but swap the text and the sword carries yours. Initials, a handle, a date, a squad tag: change the text and re-slice.

The model is split into five print plates by color — black frame, white blade, yellow crest, red pommel, blue gems — about 41 parts in total. No AMS required. Print one color per plate, then assemble with snap-fit joints and alignment dowels. No glue, no screws, no tools.

Print settings: 0.2 mm layer height, 2 walls, 15% grid infill, tree supports (30° overhang threshold), auto brim, textured PEI plate.

Anycubic Kobra X profiles are included, so you can slice for either machine without re-tuning.

This is a remix of "Knight's Sword" by 箱庭猫猫 (Hakoniwa Neko). Huge thanks to the original designer — if you like the base design, go check out the original.

A real mech pilot isn't afraid of a sword that's cuter than they are.
