RWBY - Staff of Creation

thingiverse

The next installment in my renderings of artifacts from the RWBY series is now underway. This design presents a new challenge compared to the lantern, so I've decided to post it as a work-in-progress rather than waiting further. All components are designed to fit around a 1-inch dowel for the base and a smaller 0.5-inch dowel for the upper pieces, ensuring everything stays aligned nicely during construction. Maintaining squareness will be your responsibility, however. The only component I chose not to design due to added print complexity were the accents spiraling around the gem at the top of the staff. These need to be printed flat and then shaped with a heat gun to achieve the desired arc around the gem. I'm uncertain if they'll be long enough currently, but future printing and design tweaks will be necessary to ensure this technique works effectively. A handle for the staff won't be uploaded as printed handles are generally not durable enough, and the actual length of the staff remains unknown since it hasn't made a full view appearance in the show yet. If you're interested in printing this design, you'll need two copies of the "Staff - Gold 3 & 4" files.
