DOTA 2 - Finblade

thingiverse

Almost a meter long when assembled, I modelled this massive sword in 13 parts so you can recreate this blade in life-sized proportions on your build plate. A 20cm x 20cm print surface allows you to re-create everything at home – with mechanical fixings for every piece that clips, slides and screws together seamlessly. Locking into place without needing any glue or non-printed parts means assembly is quick and easy. Printing guns from the comfort of your home may not be possible right now, but this proves you're able to print a realistic sword in its own right! The clip joints on the hilt's precious gems mean they can be removed. Prising those out won't happen often, unless using the blade for its true value isn't an option anymore. Drawing inspiration from its intimidating blade made it an ideal choice. It stands apart from any other sword – with a blend of curved edges, points and teeth combining long swords, cutlasses, machetes and saws to make this Finblade deadly versatile. Those misshapen arrows jutting out tell a story too - melting down previous victories into a battle-worn finish! Tribal patterns running along the blade take centre stage instead of intricate engravings – as reminders that living to see more than once should be taken seriously! And don't forget the scarred battle marks adding depth to this replica's violent past. Creating such an incredible weapon All but some of its inner parts can be printed support-free – using minimal time for finishing while saving huge amounts on print time and material used, even at its considerable size! Every section was carefully hollowed out without losing strength while maintaining high surface quality with minimal printing necessary to hold the sword's shape intact.
