full size oblivion keyblade

thingiverse

So I wanted to enlarge CapnMyCapns Oblivion Keyblade to make it full-size. Other models I found weren't sliced well in my opinion, so I made this one larger to print in 18 pieces and finish at 40 inches long. A hole runs the entire length of the keyblade for a piece of M8 threaded rod. Both points at the top and bottom have been modified to house a M8 nut to attach each end to the threaded rod, making the whole thing more stable with that many pieces in that length. I added holes in the center of the 4 key pieces and hollowed out corresponding parts of the main blade to house nuts so the keys can be attached with smaller pieces of M8 threaded rod. I also removed and made depressions in the top of the handle pieces for printing the jewel and surrounding trim separately, planning to use different colors for those pieces. I'm now in the process of printing all the pieces and will upload pictures when finished. I recently finished a similar print at 30 inches and wanted this one slightly bigger and more stable with the threaded rod. Edit: I had to slice the handle sections into two due to them being just too large for my print bed, so if you're using a similar-sized print bed to the CTC Bizer (Flash Forge/Makerbot Clone), use the handle top, bottom, and center 1 and 2 files instead.
