Master Sword (Full Size) - Legend of Zelda

It's perilous to embark on a solo quest, take this instead: https://youtu.be/HRMcRFcPFsU This is a full-sized, fully three-dimensional printed Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda. Even Link would be envious of your plastic sword. I designed this model in Fusion 360 using reference images from the game's concept art. Then I prepared it in MatterControl and printed it out on my Robo 3D R1 printer with Hatchbox white PLA filament. The total print took approximately twenty hours to complete, including all parts, and used about half a kilogram of filament. The included pins are not intended to hold the sword together; they serve as placeholders until glue can be applied. Once I had it printed and assembled, I passed it on to my wife for post-processing work. Here's what she did: Post Processing- Step 1: Glue all the pieces together. She used Gorilla Super Glue. Allow this glue to sit for a few days to ensure it is solid before proceeding. Step 2: Seal the seams. We employed Loctite Repair Putty and applied it over the seams to cover them. Step 3: Sand. She sanded the blade with a hand sander, including the puttied areas, to achieve a smooth and flush finish. She used a Dremel with a cone-shaped head to clean up and sand the handle. Then she employed 400-grit sandpaper to make it as smooth as possible. Step 4: Priming. Apply plastic primer to coat the entire sword in several coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. Step 5: Paint. She first applied Krylon Hammered Metal spray paint to the blade area. Once dry, she taped off the blade and then used an airbrush to apply purple paint to the handle. Step 6: Paint the details. She used green acrylic paint and a brush to paint the green on the handle. After that, she employed a gold paint pen to apply the gold features. Step 7: Enjoy! You can add any finishing coat you like. We haven't applied anything yet, but if you plan to use this sword, I advise applying some sort of finish coat to protect it from damage. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to clarify! Print Settings: Layer Height: 0.3mm Infill: 20% Support: No Raft: No
