Pool Noodle Sword Handle – 3D Print : 9 Steps

The next issue I encountered was my curved edges weren’t the same and the spacing wan’t as even as I thought it would be.

So, to get the even layout, I started by making a cube with curved edges (radius of 1.5) and making sure they were evenly spaced using the ruler and Duplicate. I found that making the layout first and then editing the heights made for better results.

Once I had the grid, I started changing the colors of the cubes to get the sword shape and changed the heights depending on the color. Dark brown was the shortest, light brown came next, then darker blue, and lastly lighter blue. I removed all the other blocks once I had the shape and I did some rounding and cutting for the cubes that were where the insert was going to go so I would have a flat surface.

I added some cubes inside the shape because the curved edges left holes where the cube corners met.

Once I had everything ready for the handle, I added the insert to the flat surface I’d created at the top.
