Life Size Thor's Hammer (Mjolnir)

thingiverse

Welcome all who are worthy! (Okay, I promise that's the only worthy joke I'll make here. There's more in the video though.) This is a fully 3D printed Mjolnir, made life size and close to the exact dimensions of the movie prop from The Dark World movie. It can also be scaled pretty easily. I provided two different options for the main part of the hammer: one with a hollow interior to save filament, and another solid option that will print in a better orientation and add more weight for realism. To make this project come alive, you'll need to follow these steps: Print Settings: Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer Model: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 20% Post-Printing Steps: Step 1: Sand the parts down as much as possible to smooth out the details on the handle and outside of the hammer. Step 2: Glue the parts together using printed pins, then apply glue to those pins to adhere them together. Use a Gorilla Glue Two Part Epoxy and hold the parts for a bit until they dry. Step 3: Prime the hammer with a black spray primer from Krylon, coating it at least twice, letting it dry completely in between coats. Step 4: Paint the hammer with a Hammered Metal spray paint, specifically silver colored. Apply 3 coats of this, letting it dry completely in between. Step 5: Paint the handle with brown acrylic paint using a paint brush, applying 3 coats to get a smooth but plentiful coverage. Step 6: Apply a wash by mixing silver and black acrylic paint, then watering it down significantly before applying it to the details on the handle and sides of the hammer. Step 7: Rough up the paint on the bulk of the hammer using sandpaper to give it a worn and used look. Step 8: Finally, apply a finish coat with spray clear coat once everything is completely dry.
