***UPDATE***
NEW VERSION V3

V3 makes the inside of the blade thinner as per the reference photos. printed, it requires less sanding.

*Coming soon* V4 will make the inside a single mm thin, requiring sculpting with putty, this will give the blade center **0** layer lines

This is a model of the Makonde Dagger for the Punished Props community project! It was a fantastic exercise in Fusion 360, done in about 2.5 hours. It's still rough, and the angles aren't perfect (sanding definitely required) but I wanted to release a base for people to expand on.

This dagger is daunting, so giving anyone who wants a first step seemed like a nice thing to do! :)

My NEVA printer isn't set up for cura, so I couldn't print the center in "fuzzy surface" as I would have liked to. (In the upcoming days, I'll upload the files separated, so you can print the center separate.)

My setting turned out to take 11 hours.
