Being sick over Christmas meant I had a lot more hobby time than I was expecting.
Set myself the goal of making a sheath/protector for my new knife out of wood.
Traced blade, scanned, sketched in freecad, padded it into a model of the blade (using thickest part for simplicity). designed actual sheath body and subtracted blade shape from interior.
Thought it would make sense to 3d print it before moving on to transferring the design to CNC to make out of either ply, cherry or birch in two pieces to be glued. Glad I did! This 30% pine 3d printing filament is fantastic. Not going to bother taking this to the CNC...its breathable and soft so I think its perfect for a carbon steel blade.
