A rework from scratch of an Angel blade from supernatural.
I have previously published a version of the angel blade - thing:3119415 but was never happy with the hilt, it didn't match the TV show 100%
I have redone this blade using screenshots to try to get a more accurate blade. Unfortunately without hi def closeups of the blade from all angles which I have yet to find it is not an easy task and there seems to be a number of version used on the show with differences between the props.
I haven't made this item a work in progress but I imagine I will be modifying this over time(I will try to record changes below as I go).
I made this entirely in openscad and have included the scad file.
I haven't had chance to print this version yet(will try to remember to update when I do) but below are the instructions for how I printed the other angel blade and I imagine I will be doing the same.
I have printed with 0.1 layer height but this could be increased or reduced depending on your printer/desired quality.
Print using appropriate infill + perimeters depending on how you are going to use. If you want a piece straight of the printer that just needs joining then 15-20% infill + 3 perimeters should be fine.
For my prints I did:
For the handle I have printed with 0% infill and 2 perimeters.
For the blade I printed with 10% infill and 2 perimeters for the hilt and moved to 0% infill and 7 perimeters for the first 5mm of the blade then back to 2 perimeters for the rest of the blade. The 7 perimeters are to get hood adhesion on to the hilt.
I then filled both solid with herculite(type of plaster) by melting a small hole through the bottom of each, this made the entire model fully rigid and weighted much better for a model piece.
