It's done!! a 3 and a half foot long Claymore SWORD. I modeled this as a project a while back when I only had one machine. I couldn't justify taking the time to lock down my machine for over 24 hours to print this, but now that I have laser engravers that can run while I 3d print as well, I went for it!!! I'm decently happy with how this came out, but I ran into a lot that I would do differently when I make these again.

The sword is a total of 8 pieces (10 pieces after it broke 5 seconds after I finished it XD) After separating the pieces out in blender, I modified the handle to have the wood pla accents you see there. It took about 23 hours to print in total, with 3d print nozzles double the size that I usually print at. This is FAST compared to what is usually output from my machine. 

I sanded the whole thing smooth which took around 5 hours total I'd say.  made a mistake with the sanding process unfortunately. IAfter sanding it, I glued the pieces together with something called 3dgloop(A glue that melts polymers together, Suuuper strong) This is where I made my most visible mistake. I could still clearly see the seams in between the pieces. I then got out my plastic welding gun and spliced some pla and melted it into the semas. For no knowledge using this thing, it went pretty well I'd say! I sanded down the seams and you're left with what is in the picture! I should have glued and sealed the semas before sanding... But, that's a lesson learned for next time!

Overall this was a fun project, and it will definitely be going on my wall. I'm proud of this piece!
