This is a Fan made katana for a propmaker.
Shura's sword (Katana actually) [ooor demonic sword, as you wish, suit yourself =P ]
from the anime Ao no exorcist. Ideal for a cosplayer
Interesting Data:
Almost 1mt. long
-The model deosn't have a sharp edge to avoid any kind of problems.
(It could be sanded down)
-The sheet of the katana is 1 cm thick. I choose so, to avoid any kind of unnecessary misunderstandings.
You can make it look thinner by modifying either X or Y axis (depending on how you
positionate the pieces)
(pictures to come, it's still being printed 27/07/17 - let me know if i forget to upload pics xD)
PIECES AND PRINTING GUIDE:
The parts to be printed and it's positions are numbered from 1 to 9.
The files "Cubo" and "cilindro" are used to check if the printer is correctly calibrated for a good snug fit of the parts that are inter-connected (I used Simplify3D -Horizontal size compensation with them to ensure I'd Have a good fit with the real pieces)
All the pieces can be printed together at once, as long as you have a 20cmx20cm bed and at least 17,5cm height.
I'd recommend to print as seen in the picture:
(i sued a .5mm nozzle, have this in mind if you have a different size you will have to add more top/bot or wall)
3 types:
2 top, bot and walls, plus 25% infill to ensure i'd be sanded easily and i'd be strong. (piece "3_defensa")
*3 top, 2 bot, 1 outline, plus 15% infill, mainly to have a good strugcutre when joining the pieces or for hte cosplayer grabbing it. (1_mango,2_mango,4_pre-filo,5_hoja)
3 tops, 2 bot and 2 walls, 0 infill, the 2 walls are strong enough and i'll make it lightweigh, plus moving the center of mass near the handle making it easier to handle.(6_hoja,7_hoja,8_hoja,9_hoja)
