Description
This design was created using Adobe Medium and an Oculus Rift/PC. I have sold it for several years in my Etsy store and assembled/shipped about a dozen of them in that time. The files have been heavily refined for maximum success rate while printing. Last year the design was updated to include two 4mm diameter by 400mm long carbon fiber rods that run the length of the sword, greatly increasing its strength and durability. With the carbon fiber inserts you can swing the sword fairly quickly and lightly make contact with surfaces without destroying the prop. I recommend heavy application of Loctite “super attak” power flex gel superglue during assembly of the joints. The carbon fiber rods should be glued into each piece starting from the sword tip and moving toward the handle. Be quick when setting the shaft in place as the glue will lock it in position extremely quickly since it's being spread so thin around the carbon fiber. Lightly hand sand with 120-300grit sandpaper after assembly and coat with Rustoleum filler primer, then spraypaint or airbrush to your preference. Enjoy!
