Espada Tizona del Cid extensible - Print in place El Cid's Tizona sword (collapsible

The sword Tizona is one of the swords carried by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid Campeador, according to the Cantar de Mio Cid. His second sword was the Colada.

The fusion360 file is available for anyone who needs it. I'm not uploading it due to its size.

The hilt has been adapted from the designs of txus360 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2990911) and riojaonly (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4576147), the blade is an extendable design in fusion360.

Tizona (also Tizón) is the name of one of the swords carried by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid, according to the Cantar de Mio Cid. The name of the second sword of El Cid is Colada.

Fusion360 project is available for anyone who needs it, I cannot upload it due to the huge size.

The grip is an adaptation of txus360 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2990911) and riojaonly (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4576147) designs, the sheet has been designed in fusion360.

I've used PLA 870 filament and applied a heat treatment to increase the strength and make it withstand the bumps of a child.

It's been printed in PLA 870 and applied thermal curing in order to make it stronger, as it has been printed for a 4yo kid.

*Oven process - Oven process

These are the main points to be able to use our oven of

house.

Let's remember that, unless it is a very high quality oven, traditional ovens have

a temperature variation of between 20 and 40 degrees during the on and off phases, so that

ALWAYS use the lowest temperature available to you because it is the most stable one

(50-60 degrees Celsius)

NEVER use the ventilation system (or convection oven), ALWAYS use the oven.

We will put the piece with the printer glass in the oven off and we will allow the oven to

warm up. We will start counting the minutes as soon as the oven has reached the

desired temperature.

Once the tempering time has elapsed, allow the piece to cool for a few minutes.

Once cold, we can separate the supports and the piece from the glass base.

Water method

Water process

The water method is usually the easiest and safest method since we have better control of the

tempering temperature.

We will fill our container with water and carefully measure the temperature.

In this case we will use a household thermometer to measure the water temperature.

around 70 degrees.

We proceed to immerse the piece with the glass base in our container, paying attention to

that the workpiece is completely submerged (if the workpiece has a very low percentage of filler,

will tend to float. For this reason, we will use some weights to make our project stay on the bottom

of the container, being careful that the weights don't touch the part).

Wait until the water is cold (less than 20 degrees) and proceed to separate the supports

and the piece of the glass base.
