Xenoblade Chronicles Monado

Here is the Monado I attempted to recreate after using a whole bunch of assorted reference pictures and waaay too much time… anyways, the file isn't to full scale as in the game but is scaled down to be about the size of a short sword and is assembled with the use of some pegs and some gorilla glue to make it feel fully solid (although if you mess with the dimensions of the pegs I'm sure you can get a good tolerance without the use of glue). I don't recommend trying to make this into a full-size model as that would take about 20-30ish parts with the current size of Bambu Labs print volumes and sacrifice a lot of the structural integrity unless you weld, sand, and post process it all. I printed it in all red and finished it out with a couple different colored paint pens I had. I have a 3mf file for the fully colored version, but Bambu Labs won't let me upload it unless I verify that it has been printed, and considering how it is ~2 ½ days I am not going do do that, but if you want the file just message me and I'll send it your way. I also suggest maybe slowing your printer down for this print because even with the big brims on the parts, the print profile uses most of the Y-axis height and unless your bed adhesion is superb it might cause a failed part or two. If you have any comments or if I missed any details please leave a comment or message me, thank you and happy printing!
