So like I said last time I got this sweet stl file off Etsy and have begun printing out the sword. I have printed out all parts. The past couple days I've been gluing parts together. Dyed the clear guards and pommel. Filled some of the gaps with wood fill. And used pink fairy lights for a lighting effect. Here's the hande. The blade was trickier to keep together.

It's gotten warped. I mean...shape-wise, with a bit more TLC, the foam sword looks really good. However, I like that the machine does things for me too. (Now with all the parts printed.) With all the parts now printed, I need to sand a few parts, dye the clear stuff to purple, assemble and sealing gaps, then priming and printing. I'm waiting on some LED fairy lights for the cross guard. I've downloaded and purchased a bunch of swords and daggers. I'm just going to have an arsenal of fake weapons. :B Currently plan on making the following Swords: Master sword (with glows) I mean...everyone does this right? Zelda's sword from Twilight Princess (also got her shoulder armor and jewelry from that so, she'll definitely be a cosplay) Sword of Faith fro...
