This is an improved pool noodle sword handle that's easy to print and safe.
It's designed to be printed in TPU - the central core is there to stiffen the blade by adding walls to the print.
I've used the commercial, blow-molded noodle sword grips; they're too weak for my toddler, and honestly an affront to anyone who's held a fencing foil. These grips will secure your pool noodle through many fights, and the noodle will die long before the handle.
The grip uses a double helix noodle mount, because I'm awesome like that. Designed in OpenSCAD because it's open source!
For pool noodles, I specifically purchased these:

The grip should work with any noodle that has a 3/4" hole - any standard size noodle.
The sword uses half of a noodle; cut it in half with a bread knife or hacksaw. I like to angle the cut for extra cool points.
