Features
This sword is designed to be built using a 3D Printer and a laser cutter, tools available in most hackspaces. Read through this guide to build your own!
This sword is life size, lights up and has range estimation to connect multiple swords together so that you can tell when your buddies are close or when you are on your own to battle the zombie hoardes.
3D Printing
All files will fit on a Makerbot Replicator 2 (and were printed on our CTC Replicators), other printers may vary. All you need to do is print as below:
Handle Pt1 V1 x1
Handle Pt2 V1 x1
Middle Hilt V1 x1
Hilt Side V1 x 2
Pommle Top V1 x1
Pommle Bottom V1 x1
Square Insert V1 x2
Then either bolt the parts with bolts and glue the wings to the hilt.
We printed ours in PLA however this should work in ABS as well.
Laser Cutting
Two files are included blade.dxf & squares.dxf. The blade file will cut out the perimiter and bolt holes at the base of the blade. The squares file is for engraving the top of the sword with the pattern.
The material required for this section is 10mm Arcrylic. We buy ours from The Plastic People as it's free shipping over £30. Best to get in a group order with your friends. You could in theory use any material here however the interface to the plastic is 10mm.
Electronics
The electronics for this sword are based off an Arduino unfortunately youll have to make your own
