This is a Spartan Sword I modeled in Blender. Its the first model I made from a reference image and 3d printed. I am quite happy with how it turned out. I spent days moving each vertex and cleaning it.
Feel free to remix it or do whatever. Please comment if you liked it and upload pics if you've printed it!

Any material.
I recommend you print this at 0.12 - 0.25 layer height. I got the best results with this height and it didn't take as long. Also its much nicer to touch.
Use a raft, I didn't and the plastic warped, but that could be to some faults on my end. so that is up to you.
Supports are recommended depending how you orient it. But think of the overhangs. I recommend attempting to print it with the blade facing upwards, lay it on its spine.I did not try it this way however.
I used 50% infill because it only differed around 40 mins in print time from 25%. Again that depends on you.
How I Designed This
I just looked up an image I liked that resembled the 300 movie spartan sword and modeled it accordingly on Blender.
