Alm's Falchion (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)

pinshape

Please don't forget to upload your prints since it really helps me get exposure for this design worldwide! This has been my biggest printing project yet. I scoured everywhere and couldn't find the Gaiden/Echoes version of Falchion, so I designed it myself! The files are prepared and optimized for a 200x200x180 build plate with issues solved from my own assembly. If you have a bigger or smaller build plate, I included an STL with the whole blade that you can slice up as needed. For any help, feel free to contact me directly. Print everything vertically except the hilt. That was done mainly to avoid supports melding into the part (which then are hard to sand down). To achieve the finish I got, I had to sand the whole thing, prime it, sand it, prime it again and sand it again. Then I painted. It took a while but it was worth the effort. The design itself was made in Fusion 360 based on several artworks from the game as well as Fire Emblem Heroes. I strongly recommend getting three metal rods of six millimeters in diameter for structural support and weight. It makes this prop feel so much more realistic when you hold it in your hands. Now, go! Fight Duma with this epic dragon slaying blade! P.D. As a hardcore fan, you'll notice that this epic design is missing the shield (for your epic shield drop of course), so be on the lookout for more updates on that!
