King Kamehameha I spear head

thingiverse

This spear head was inspired by a statue of Hawaiian King Kamehameha I, featured prominently above. My son wore it as part of his costume in his school's "historical Halloween" parade when he was in 5th grade. Two crucial barbs from the original statue are not included in this model to ensure everything fits perfectly on the print bed. You'll need a build surface that measures approximately 185 mm in length to accommodate it. The spearhead is designed specifically to attach securely onto a standard broom handle. I printed this project using PLA, did some filing for a perfect fit, and glued the pieces together with acetone, completing it relatively quickly including spray-painting. Although the point of the spear is blunt, it can still cause serious harm, and the barbs are incredibly sharp, so please exercise caution and follow safety guidelines. The school deemed the spear too hazardous to be carried in the parade due to close proximity with other kids, but my son could pose for pictures with it nonetheless. This object was created using Tinkercad.
