The Sword of Power & Sword of Protection

thingiverse

Eager to have the He-Man sword from your childhood? Now you can create it yourself! Just model it and slice it using your printer. Why stop at one? Include She-Ra's sword too, the coolest princess of all time! After hours of work, you'll have models ready to print. Stick with the original cartoon designs for a nostalgic touch. The swords, when printed and assembled, are about 27 inches long. Pictures were taken before gluing them together. She-Ra's sword had minimal warping issues. Experience "I Have The Power" and share your creations with others! For those who requested, merged versions of the swords at 5 inches length have been added, allowing for scaling up or down. For printing instructions, use Grey ABS on an Afinia H-Series printer with specific settings. Ensure center top pieces are printed hollow, while the bottom piece is solid for weight. Dowels on sides can be printed to enhance strength. Assembling the blade tip is easy - insert a cone-shaped dowel into the Blade Middle and attach the Blade Tip. Lightly sand dowels if needed. Don't worry about tightness; glue will fill gaps. He-Man and She-Ra center pieces are interchangeable, so downloading each file individually is sufficient. For UP!/Afinia printers, UP3 files are available with specific printing advice to minimize warping. Two zipped folders containing large single models for Delta 3D Printers or Gigabot users are also provided, but ensure the size is correct. The total print time for each sword is approximately 27 hours and 35 minutes. Remember, you can choose the highest resolution for better quality, just be prepared to wait a bit longer.
