Greek Xiphos Sword Blank - For Casting

thingiverse

The blank can be used to cast a bronze xiphos sword, but could also be printed as a prop replica. The blade of this model measures approximately sixty centimeters in length when printed at one-to-one scale. To accommodate smaller printers, the model has been split into multiple pieces. Two small cylinders are designed for alignment purposes, with the smaller cylinder fitting snugly within the blade and the larger one fitting securely within the handle. A Greek kopis is also available on my account for those interested in a different type of ancient sword replica. Please note that these files are quite large, so it may be preferable to print them at a reduced size if you're looking for an accurate measurement. Resizing the model to anywhere from sixty-six percent to one hundred percent of its original size should provide a good balance between accuracy and printability.
