Ancient Spear - Zelda Breath of the Wild

pinshape

Given the state of our world I strongly believe many of us are desperately in need of new challenges to tackle or projects to work on, something exciting to look forward to. With that said I am presenting the community with all the files and images I have collected to help you create your own Ancient Spear! This build is going to be somewhat more difficult than average, requiring some Adafruit gear and a few extra supplies. Below are all the necessary links. For the programming instructions my advice is to refer to the Adafruit guide released for their Master Sword and Guardian Sword builds. They have some of the best documentation available to get you started. PRINTING TIPS One of the challenges with this build is part strength. If you print the top components with too much infill or perimeters, the result will be a top-heavy spear that puts too much stress on the pole. Print with minimal infill and perimeters for the upper blade assembly, then really dial up the strength for the poll. Recommend ABS for better strength, but with careful infill and perimeter settings you can get away with PLA. One strategy is to increase the top and bottom layers to print the male and female threads of the poles so they print solid then proceed to make a reduced infill for the core of the part to save material and time.
