Dark scythe from Monster Hunter

myminifactory

This is the Dark Scythe from the Monster Hunter games, originally designed for my Halloween costume. In about 5 hours, I created this in Blender and broke it down into pieces for 3D printing. On my Wanhao Duplicator 4, I printed it, then used epoxy glue to put all the pieces together. Next, I painted it with spray paint and acrylic paint. The only part I didn't print was the handle; instead, I used a broken wooden handle that I got from my neighbor. I'm submitting this here for entry into the Monster Hunter weapon challenge. I also uploaded it on Thingiverse around Halloween time. It took me 2 weeks to print this entire weapon. Some parts required support during printing, so I used 10% infill and a layer height of 0.4 mm. The material was white and silver PLA. After printing, I spent several days sanding, filling in gaps, gluing it all together, and painting with spray paint and acrylic paint.
