Spear Of Longinus From Neon Genesis Evangelion

thingiverse

This is a printable replica of the Spear of Longinus from anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. When all four sections are assembled, the finished product measures approximately 52cm long. I am not the original creator of this model; it was converted from Steam Workshop files made for Source Filmmaker by Maestro Fenix, refined in Meshmixer, and divided into printable sections suitable for an 18cm bed. During refinement and filling in Meshmixer, one of the prongs turned out slightly shorter, but I chose not to address the issue. The source file is available at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=292176078. I have included an .OBJ model that has been repaired to 52cm long for anyone who wants to adjust dimensions or cut it differently than I did. I also included the raw Valve Source Engine rip (spear.qc) for those who wish to work with it. To import and export the model, I used the Source Engine plugin for Blender, which allowed me to repair the model as an STL file. Please post pictures of your finished product; I'd love to see how others bring this design to life! I am not affiliated in any way with ADV Films, Gainax, or Tatsunoko Production and do not claim ownership of Neon Genesis Evangelion or this spear as an original creation. Print Settings: Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 10% Notes: The most critical part I found was preventing support material from clinging due to the fragile nature of this model, which proved to be a somewhat tricky task; in my case, many small chunks of support material were left over and had to be manually removed.
