full size oblivion keyblade

cults3d

So i wanted to make CapnMyCapns Oblivion Keyblade more full size. Other models I found were not sliced well in my opinion. I have enlarged this to print in 18 pieces and will finish right at 40" I have placed a hole down the entire length of the keyblade for a piece of M8 threaded rod. Both points at top and bottom have been modified to house a M8 nut to attach each end to the threaded rod to make the whole thing more stable with that many pieces in that length. I have also added a hole in the center of the 4 key pieces and hollowed out a corresponding piece of the main blade to house a nut so the key can be attached with a smaller piece of M8 threaded rod. I also removed and made a depression in the top of the handle pieces for printing the jewel and surrounding trim separately I intend to use different colors for printing those pieces. I am in the (long) process of printing all the pieces now and will upload pictures when finished.i just finished a similar print at 30 inches and wanted this slightly bigger and more stable with the threaded rod. Edit: Had to slice the handle sections in 2 due to being just too large for my print bed. so if your using similar size print bed to the CTC Bizer(Flash Forge/ Makerbot Clone) use the handle top bottom and center 1 and 2 files.
