Buster Sword Dice Holder

cults3d

After making another DnD style dice-sword, someone requested one in the shape of the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy 7. Unlike my previous versions, this sword does not have a sheath. To get around that I used magnets. The cut-outs are 8x3mm round magnets I bought on amazon. There are 4 spots on 2 sides totaling 8 spots for magnets, you can possibly get away with using fewer but the 4 points of connection should make it strong enough that the cover will not fall off if its thrown into a bag or something. I did a number of totally scientific tests involving me throwing the blade assembly from various distances and was only ever able to pop the cover off with some severe rotational forces you should never realistically experience. There are spaces for 200x2mm metal rods for structural stability if you need it, although the pieces all have a lot of surface area to grip the adhesive necessary to combine the pieces very well. The blade and dice insert are two separate pieces in order to get the best surface detail on both sides so the detailing on the side of the blade did not have to be multiple pieces. You can glue the insert down to remove some play but it will stay in place with locking nubs. All parts are in the recommended print orientation. Settings may vary, you will need supports and I recommend tree supports for the easiest removal. Everything has been tested and is printable. I haven't personally printed nearly as many of these as my katanas but I am printing more right now and will update with more pictures. I have one painted version of this where I just painted over the raw 3d print, although the paint job is decidedly far from matching the game. If someone wants to upload a make with a more game-accurate color scheme that would be amazing.
