Watch Zeldathon Wild this June 5-11!
Here's a collectable shield, made for this event.
The small handles on the back should allow you to wear this shield on a chain, or hang it on a wall with a piece of string.
If you enjoy this design, please make a donation to Zeldathon! Please mention where you came from in the comments. If you're not sure how much to give, I recommend $3.00 as a good starting point. (Or $3.14 if you're nerdy.)
Printer:
Rapide Lite 200 v1
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.1mm (recommended)
Infill:
100%
Notes:
Sliced with Slic3r, printed in silver PLA. Using 100% infill gives it a higher-quality feel.
If you're using Fleks3D, or similarly have really good platform adhesion, no supports should be required when printing with the flat top touching the build platform (see photos). A raft is still recommended.
Without supports, the print tends to get a little squirrely towards the bottom of the shield. Since Breath of the Wild is about a Hyrule in ruins, I think this gives it some extra personality!
This design was made in OpenSCAD.
The fonts used are Hylia Serif Beta and Helvetica Neue (Bold).
The Master Sword outline was made from scratch in Pixelmator.
The Triforce is made by subtracting a rotated cylinder of diameter D from a cylinder with diameter 2D... both cylinders are rendered with a "number of fragments" of 3, which reduces them to triangular prisms.
