The Shuriken of Omens is inspired by the legendary Sword of Omens, a mighty weapon that has captivated fans of the Thundercats animated series since its inception. Rather than merely recreating the iconic sword, I chose to reimagine it, crafting a new iconic instrument for adventure-seekers everywhere. Designed with printing and assembly in mind, this Shuriken is built for durability and style. A key aspect of the design lies within the top and bottom caps that hold everything together while proudly showcasing two distinct states of the Eye of Thundera: open or Cat's Eye closed. A bonus feature includes a removable stand adorned with the fabled Cat's Eye, adding an extra layer of detail to this stunning model. As any 3D printing enthusiast will attest, sometimes models necessitate elevated sections that cannot fit within the print bed without compromising quality. When faced with such obstacles, support structures become essential. In those situations, utilizing supports with roof enabled at 100% density provides unparalleled results. By incorporating them strategically and using a distance between model and roof of 0.1 or 0.15 mm, the process of separation becomes incredibly streamlined, allowing for flawless detachment without unwanted artifacts. Moreover, the Shuriken features retractable blades that enable precise alignment and easier assembly by simply folding each one inward. Follow these steps to successfully bring your very own Shuriken of Omens to life: **Required Components** * 2 collar pieces * 3 precision-crafted blade pieces * 1 sleek top cap piece * 1 premium top body piece * 1 rugged bottom body piece * 1 reliable bottom cap piece * 1 efficient gear component * 1 optional decorative stand (featuring the majestic Cat's Eye) **Assembly Method** Step by Step Assembly Guide: 1. First, carefully pass the bottom cap through the spacious top body opening. 2. Next, slide the sturdy gear over the threaded end of the cap to ensure secure alignment. 3. With blades folded in for easier maneuverability, gently insert them over the pivots of the top body until they click into place securely. 4. Position the lower body component directly on top of the gear and attached blade elements. 5. Then, thread the second, slightly more substantial cap through the open end of the bottom body part, firmly attaching it to the lower cap in a secure but gentle hold – avoiding overly tight screws that risk shattering the caps while preventing proper functionality. Enjoy your own fully-assembled Shuriken of Omens, an homage to Thundercats's most beloved and awe-inspiring relic!
