Minecraft Inspired Diamond Pool Noodle Sword

After making my other Pool Noodle Sword Handle , while I loved it, I realized it may disappear in the pool of other pool noodle sword handles. Then I thought about what I could do that was different than what had been done. Something made me think of Minecraft so I searched and didn't see any other designs, so I decided to go for it!

I did mine in Diamond sword colors but you could try different colors for different materials. So I used:

Earth Brown (Polymaker PolyTerra Matte)

Wood Brown (Polymaker PolyTerra Matte)

Egyptian Blue (Inland)

Light Blue  (Inland)

To save on filament, the color is only changed by layer and it is printed in two sides that glue back to back so there is no overhang and the design is on both sides. I also put a little peg in it to help hold it in place while gluing. You can clamp it together while drying. I used Gorilla clear glue for one which I like because the residue it leaves is clear, but it does leave a shiny clear residue if you make a mess which I tend to do on the edges. For the smooth one I just used super glue and managed to not get it over the edge.

The design of the sword is a little different because I made the handle part longer for bigger hands. I also ended up rounding all the edges because my first version was all sharp edges and boy is that hard to hold!

The provided Print Profile contains the kind of merged pixels with rounded edges, the sharpe edges, and lastly the pixelated design with rounded edges.

Designed in Tinkercad

I made an Instructables tutorial sharing the design process for this and my other pool noodle sword handle.
