Legend of Zelda Triforce Necklace Charms

thingiverse

Power, Wisdom, and Courage, the essential components of the legendary Triforce! A brilliant idea was conceived by my friend, proposing we create a set of Triforce necklaces for myself, him, and another close friend. I took charge of designing them, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. These pendants can be connected at the bottom corners to form a complete Triforce symbol. The picture showcases my finished charm, representing Wisdom, crafted from Shapeways' high-performance black plastic and beautifully painted in the center. You will find files for both backed and transparent models included. If you decide to print this design at home, I strongly advise against using PLA, especially if you live in a hot climate or plan to subject it to heavy wear, like my friend did. However, if that's not a concern, go ahead and print away! ABS would be an excellent choice, but be cautious of warping issues. If you successfully overcome this challenge with ABS, you can further enhance the finish by applying acetone vapor, resulting in a smooth, injection-molded appearance. I've been contemplating scaling down the design to create earring-sized versions. Based on initial assessment, I believe it would pose no significant challenges. **UPDATE**: Following feedback and refinement, I've modified the see-through designs to be thinner and possess improved hole tolerance. This update allowed me to print them using Shapeways' sterling silver, which has become my everyday wear choice!
