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.

I used a brim to ensure that the screw flats would stay stuck until they were joined.

The noodle fits on an 200x200mm (8"x8") bed if you angle it 45 degrees.

For best results, use 3 perimeters, 15% infill. This will give you a soft grip, but leave the screw threads mostly solid and the central core will add a good amount of rigidity along the length of the grip.
