Supernatural Angel Blade

thingiverse

A rework from scratch of an Angel blade from supernatural. I previously published a version of the Angel blade - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3119415](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3119415) but was never happy with the hilt, it didn't match the TV show 100%. I have redone this blade using screenshots to try to get a more accurate blade. Unfortunately without hi def closeups of the blade from all angles which I have yet to find it is not an easy task and there seems to be a number of version used on the show with differences between the props. I haven't made this item a work in progress but I imagine I will be modifying this over time(I will try to record changes below as I go). I made this entirely in openscad and have included the scad file. I haven't had chance to print this version yet(will try to remember to update when I do) but below are the instructions for how I printed the other angel blade and I imagine I will be doing the same. Print with 0.1 layer height but this could be increased or reduced depending on your printer/desired quality. Print using appropriate infill + perimeters depending on how you are going to use. If you want a piece straight of the printer that just needs joining then 15-20% infill + 3 perimeters should be fine. For my prints I did: For the handle I printed with 0% infill and 2 perimeters. For the blade I printed with 10% infill and 2 perimeters for the hilt and moved to 0% infill and 7 perimeters for the first 5mm of the blade then back to 2 perimeters for the rest of the blade. The 7 perimeters are to get good adhesion on to the hilt. I then filled both solid with herculite(type of plaster) by melting a small hole through the bottom of each, this made the entire model fully rigid and weighted much better for a model piece.
