Dice Sword

| An earlier iteration had three fasteners, but once we bonded the first prototype it was pretty clear that they were redundant. |

| I did some basic FEA on the sheath to make sure my initial design was ok. |

|
| The sheath prototype was really useful, because I was worried about it's strength as an open bonded shell. My kids played with it for a week and it didn't break, so it passed the test. We used superglue and I think the final product will be ABS bonded with a tougher adhesive. |

| Internal details of the sword prototype (early version with fasteners). |
|
| The prototype loaded with dice. |

| Assembly drawing of the sword. I chose a colour format for clarity, because the assembly drawing also serves as a finish drawing. |
