Looking for a medieval morning star flail, but not wanting to deal with glue or non-printed metal screws?  Search no further :)

All elements printed with 20% infill and no supports except the screws work better with 30% infill and the chain might need supports if you are facing any difficulties.
Print the spike_top and spike_bottom with the flat part against the buildplate.
The chain is a bit tricky to print and worked better using a raft to improve adhesion.
I also used a raft to print the chain_pin vertically.

Four screws should be printed (3 for the handles and 1 for the spike ball).  The fit between the spike_top and spike_bottom can be pretty tight.  Keep turning until the chain (that sits in the spike_bottom) can no longer slip out of the chain groove.


Note: Handle pieces can be repeated for an extra long handle.  If screws break too easily increase infill (depending on needed ruggedness). Also, please handle with care and at your own risk since the tips on the spike ball are somewhat pointed.
