Spear head

thingiverse

This spear head was originally designed for use in the Athena cosplay shown.\nThough printed in gold, to achieve a more antique look I treated it as described in the post-printing section.\nA 21mm hole fits perfectly for 2cm rods.\nThe model splits easily into two halves for ease of printing.\nAdditionally, a vertical split is included for small printers, which may take longer to print. However, I have not tested this but it should work fine.\nA half version without a hole has also been added to use as a decoration, similar to the shield in the picture. The "diamonds" around the rim of the shield are also available.\nPost-Printing\nCombine the two halves using superglue.\nIf you want a more antique and battered look, coat the spear head with wallpaper paste and newspaper shreds, then let dry. Next, spray paint some primer, like white or gray, and let dry again. Since the paper soaks up a lot of liquid, this process doesn't take long.\nAfterwards, carefully spray paint the rim parts and the notch between the spear and the moon parts with dark paint, such as black. Then apply gold spray paint to the rest of the surface, leaving some of the dark visible to achieve better contours.\nNext, I simply placed some metallic effect spray paint, which I had lying around anyway, in the same places, as well as a bit of bronze. This is not necessary, however!\nThere you go! Remember, don't harm anyone! =D\n \nHow I Designed This\nI created this using OnShape, the new cloud-based CAD project from the SolidWorks Core Team. If you want to remix the file, you can find all CAD data publicly here It's a bit messy, though.\n \nThe beautiful model in the picture is Mme Rouge, and you can find her Facebook page here.
