Episode 48 is me finally tackling a build I’ve been side-eyeing for a while: Daredevil’s transforming billy clubs. Not just “looks cool on a shelf” billy clubs—these twist together into a baton and split back apart into nunchucks, and yes, I wanted them fully 3D printed and actually functional. Spoiler: it was way more involved than I expected, mostly because the transformation only feels good if the assembly is dialed in and the moving parts play nice. In this video I walk through printing all the components, troubleshooting the fit, and figuring out how to assemble everything so it twists, locks, and separates the way it’s supposed to. Then I go deep on weathering, because a prop weapon that looks fresh off the printer is just… not it. My big takeaway: plan for iteration (especially on tolerances), don’t rush the “mechanical” parts of a prop build, and save time at the end for paint and grime—because that’s what sells the whole gritty Hell’s Kitchen vibe.
