Printable Materia for Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII Remake

thingiverse

I was planning to use glass balls for materia in this print (which is about 90% done and ready for prep and paint in 15 hours) But the material slots in the blade are not correct for a round object - as the blade is 35mm thick, but the diameter of the hole is only 27mm which means it would not fill the space correctly. I designed this small 3d printable cylinder with balls on the sides to fit the holes in the sword and protrude slightly from each side of the blade. I reduced the diameter a bit so it should slide in and out easily, but be snug enough to stay put (at least in my print) however you may adjust the diameter as needed. If you wanted the materia to poke out of the guard a bit more you could increase the length and not diameter, as there is a bit of space it could still take up to have a bigger appearance on the sword print. I figured others would find this useful as an addition to this print, excited to post my make when it's all finished up.
