Heron-marked Sword + Holder from Wheel of Time

thingiverse

I conceptualized a recreation of Tam's heron-marked sword from Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, utilizing descriptions from the book and chapter artwork as references. The hilt design was inspired by the dragon icon used in the same chapter illustrations (http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dragon-icon.svg). The holder is modeled after the dragon icon (http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/File:Hilttall-icon.svg), which attaches seamlessly to the top of my Prusa i3 MK3. However, I'm unsure about the fit for other 3D printer models due to varying dimensions. To assemble this sword, you'll need to print one of each component except for the dowels, where two of each type will be required. I used super glue to secure the sword's parts together and then sanded them down before applying a crude coat of acrylic paint - feel free to use your preferred painting technique. Future plans include re-releasing this model for multi-material printing once my MMU 2.0 is available.
