Stormflower - Lie Ren - RWBY

thingiverse

I'm recreating the Stormflower pistol, a recreation of Lie Ren's guns. It's almost exact, but I made some changes to print certain parts in one piece and make it more comfortable. For instance, the magazine is printed without the flat part at the bottom, and the handle has a flange instead of being straight, which makes the grip less slippery. The main pistol body is already done, and I'm printing out the blade now. The main body was printed at 0.1mm thickness, the grips at 0.08mm, and the alignment dots and pin at 0.1mm. The blades were printed at 0.12mm. It's still a work in progress because I need to make sure all the parts fit together with reasonable tolerances. Once that's confirmed, I'll take it out of the works-in-progress stage and post some pictures. UPDATE NOTES: 1. I finished printing the grips, alignment dots, and pin for the blade, and I assembled them without glue. That's why there's a gap in the main body - it's slightly warped, but some CA glue and clamps can fix that. 2. I changed how the top and bottom of the blade connect to make it more stable and easier to put together. I used my CR-10 printer with Hatchbox Silver PLA to print it all out.
