how long did that take to print?!
also, is it threaded rod running the whole way through? I assume its threaded rod cause of the locking nut and fender washer at the pommel.
I made a sword recently and designed a cavity into the print to hold a carbon fiber tube. But I like the idea of adding tension to the model with a threaded rod...i mean...if thats whats happening here...
Yes. I got my rods at Amazon

Bit pricey, but... 8mm is not the most common size. Seems 10mm is more common.
I know I've seen some people went into Walmart and got arrow shafts for $4 each. Not sure how close to the 8mm they are.
I just grabbed a tube from work. It had a small crack at the end and was going to be thrown away. To me, that wasn't a problem given the end caps I made for it... I guess CF tubes this large in diameter are expensive...
This would work well. Just be careful cutting it because carbon fiber dust is pretty bad for you.
IT's readily available online. Amazon example...https://www.amazon.com/300x200x0-5MM-Carbon-Fiber-Composite-Finish/dp/B07GJKYXWC/ref=sr_1_11?crid=RWR15ZO4G248&keywords=carbon+fiber+sheet&qid=1572889532&sprefix=carbon+fiber%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-11

Carbon rod. I joined the two pieces with a 3D-printed bushing around a ¼-20 stainless bolt, nesting into another 3D-printed bushing with a thermoset insert. This means that the staff can be broken down for storage or transport and that a camera can be mounted at half- or full-length.
LED strip.
This is the one that I used, but the radius of the rod is tight enough that the waterproofing rubber split and peeled off a bit. If I were making another one, I would go with the non-waterproof version. Either way, sheathing the whole pole in heat-shrink is probably a good move. I used this in 1-1/2 inch but smaller woul've worked.
To allow the staff to break in two and still work, I cut the strip and soldered on MT-30s via short wire leads. Worked great!
The camera is an insta360 One X. It's fine for what it is. Good for serious videography. The Samsung Gear 360 looks like a very nice, chesper alternative, and has video looping, so it'd be great in a "dashcam" role.
You can get it for pretty cheap on amazon. You’ll need this , some epoxy, and a mold
Since your going to wrap it anyways you might as well buy this USAQ 300x200x2MM 3K Carbon Fiber Composite Panel for R/C Airframes 2MM Carbon Sheet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y144Z99/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_an2-BbKRGEZHP and have it water/laser jetted.
