Doomhammer

thingiverse

It is called the Doomhammer because when its owner takes it into battle, it brings death for the enemy. The final user of the Doomhammer will use it to bring salvation first and then destruction to the orc people. Then it will pass into the hands of someone not from the Blackrock clan, and everything will change again, leading to the weapon being used in a new cause. The legendary Doomhammer looks like an ideal last item for my series of Warcraft-related 3D printed items at least until now. The design combined features from many fan-art pictures as well as short cinematic scenes in the game of Warcraft III. I tried to make it printable while keeping its original appearance. This was the most challenging of the three Warcraft items I printed recently; not because of the printing but due to post-processing to achieve the desired granite stone look and gradient glow on certain parts of the item. It would have been simpler with lighter blue PETG, but the one I got was quite dark, so even with pure white LEDs, the glow seems relatively dim in comparison to the other two items I printed before. Another option is to use colorless PETG and blue LEDs; this could have made things easier as well. The hammer's head is printed from blue PETG in two parts (cuts 1 & 2), with settings of 0.3mm for layer height, 0.3mm for the first layer, 2 perimeters, and 0% infill without support or raft. The rest of the parts were printed from PLA using similar settings but at 0.2mm for layer height and 0.25mm for the first layer, with a perimeter of 2 and an infill of 10%, also without support or raft. To assemble the item: * Attach parts 1 and 2 of the hammer's head together. * Connect the electronics holder to the scrap metal with a wire attached, then attach it to its designated spot. * Push the negative wire through the handle for more accessibility on both ends. * Insert the decorative ring below the power switch location in the handle. * Place the LEDs into the LED bases. Three pure white LEDs were used in this design. Once everything is properly set up: * Wire the positive leads of the LEDs to the electronics holder, including resistors as necessary. * Attach the negative lead of the electrons holder wire to a metal piece preferably attached with a spring; place it onto the bottom of the handle cap. This makes for an easy switch-out in batteries. This Warcraft Doomhammer item has finally found its home in my list of printed items at least until I have more ideas to explore, and by the looks of things this seems like just as epic last one so I might go for something entirely different or just simply focus on creating another similar item to be included here eventually.
