The mighty Sword of Aeons from Fable!
I was commissioned to print this for a friend's cosplay, but since no other model already existed, I needed to model it.
Turns out the thing is huge, so I've split it up to fit on a Prusa i3 bed. All parts are held together with m4 screws and optionally glue. The hilt is designed to house a blade 1/2 inch thick made of timber.
Parts needed:
5x M4x40mm countersunk bolts
5x M4x20mm countersunk bolts
10x M4 threaded inserts (I used the following: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/154398922321?var=454464718079)
Both plugs are basically the same and are probably interchangeable, but for a slightly better fit, use plug 1 on the right and plug 2 on the left.
The crossguard sections all unfortunately need supports underneath to allow the room for assembly, as do the spikes on the spikey boys. Everything is designed to be printed with the flat surfaces down, so the top sections are all printed as is, the bottom sections are flipped 180 degrees and the pommel and knot are rotated 90 degrees to be standing.
