How to 3D Print a Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda!
If you’ve ever played a game from the Legend of Zelda franchise then at some point you’ve probably had the same thought as me… “Damn I really wish I had a Master Sword of my own”. Well I got some good news for you Zelda fans, if you own a 3d printer and some filament then you can!
Popandsicle over on Printables has made a full scale 3d printed master sword in easy to assemble colour co-ordinated pieces and today I’m going to be printing these files and assembling my very own.
Slicing the Files in Bambu Studio
Alright so I've downloaded all the files and imported them into Bambu Studio, now unfortunately I don't have a nice purple or dark blue for the hilt so I'm going to substitute it with a black. I'm going to print the blade in white so that if later down the line I want to paint it a nice metallic silver, I can do that fairly easily. The rest of the parts will be printed in the correct colours being red and yellow.
Now that I have told the printer what colour to print the parts it's time to get printing.
Assembling the Sword
After 13 hours of printing all the parts are complete and it's time to assemble the Master sword.
Take extra care when assembling the sword as I did snap the handle of mine by swinging it too hard so I had to print a new one. I wasn't too mad about this as it allowed me to make it stronger.
Display Stand
If you want a cool way of displaying your master sword then I would highly recommend printing this master sword base from Pdor_Projects. Simply remove all the blade parts from the sword up until the tri-force emblem and then you can easily and securely slot the sword into the base.
Overall I'm very happy with the sword it came out looking fantastic, obviously it would look better with the correct colours but nevertheless it still looks like a cool Master Sword shout out to Popandsicle for the awesome design every part came out looking great and slotted together perfectly, I had a lot of fun printing and assembling this Master Sword.
