3D model description

This is a revised version of my first balisong design. This new design is balanced better for flipping, very durable, and easier to print. There are also many options for customization.
- There are a variety of blade designs to choose from.
- It can be fully printed or made with M3 screws, specs linked here.
- There is a choice between handles that flair out or close completely. (The balisongs in the thumbnail have flared handles)

Assembly notes
- If the threading on the pins is too tight try scaling them down a little in the x and y direction.
- Printing using filament with enhanced mechanical properties such as a PLA Pro or PLA tough variant significantly increase durability.
- Using a generic plastic lubricant on the pin and handle contact points provides much smoother flipping.
- Printing the handle vertically provides the best surface finish. This can be difficult for low end printers so the design has also been optimized for printing horizontally.
