3D Printed Tachyon Spacers

Made and measured them myself so here are the three configurations!

Original Spacer: ~1.18 Grams

Full Length + Two extra screws (stabilisation): ~1.25g

Top half + Two extra screws: ~0.98g

Bottom half no extra screws: ~0.48g

Due to most of the handle bias coming from the thick handle slabs, the spacers dont do too much to change the balance, HOWEVER, here are some of my thought of each spacer

Full length: More handle bias and hefty, not enjoyable unless you have tanto blade(?)

Top half: It's suprisingly good, feels slightly less h.b if you only screw in one screw on each side, on the top and the bottom, this reduces weight but keeps it stable

Bottom half: Unstable and tends to shift when flipping, this is caused from lack of spacer alignment as we only use one screw to lock it in place

Overall: Fun to make, I shall open source the stl files and i hope you enjoy them!
