Let's cut the blade up! I draw some lines from above (spaced for the height of the printer bed -- 300 in this case, but sometimes I'll cut smaller pieces to avoid running a seam across a detail that would suck to sand a seam on) and then cut it up.

Time to add some internal dowel supports -- a 1" rod running in the middle, and two 1/2" ones down the sides of the blade to give it even more strength AND prevent the blade from spinning when assembling.

Now I have to cut in my handle, again with tolerances. I just draw that 0.2mm offset on the base of the handle and cut the slot out. Voila! Tolerances.

Either way, that leaves us with this.

It leaves me with this (I've halved it so I can see what I'm doing) and there's a couple little weird spots -- a divot where the blade has a decorative piece, and a little notch where a tuck in the blade wings out. Neither of these can stay because then the blade can't slide out.

So I want this blade to slot out of the gold crossguard/frame. While modeling, I had cut the end of the blade down to what would fit into the slender crossguard, which made this unusual M cut -- when I've done similar swords (She-Ra's Sword of Protection) the end is straight.

I generally keep a lot of pieces separate while I model so I don't have to manually recolour all the little faces to be what colour they're supposed to be in the pretty render... so up until this point, every part that's a different colour is a different piece. Let's merge down!

I did two spears today (and a bunch of other lil things) including the Eternal Spear from Hades...

This was extremely weird to figure out but it's coming along! I now need to rig this for printing, internal support and thread holes for EL wire.

This is Malleus' staff from Twisted Wonderland. It's a Disney mobile game where Disney villains are running a magic school? Neat.

Some experiments in unusual mould making; I thought about making this piece a two-part but the seam lines seemed absolutely fucking ludicrous, so I thought... can I make it a flat-backed one-part? I added towers to the gaps/bridges so that it can rest flat.
