Dark Souls II - Manikin Sabre

prusaprinters

<p>I've always been a big fan of the unique shape of the Manikin Sabres from Dark Souls 2, and in the process of looking at mfritz's Falcata model, I decided to improve the design and remodel it to more accurately depict the Manikin's signature weapon.</p><p>All parts will now print easily on a 180x180 bed, and have vastly improved connection points for both strength and fit/finish. The previous model had very small connection points that fit together extremely loosely. This new model should fit very snugly and very sturdily. I've also added pins to ensure that the handle fits together tightly and with proper alignment.</p><p>--------------------------------<br><strong>PRINTING:</strong></p><p>Handle: 0.1 layer height (for max detail/comfort), 3 perimeters (for strentgh), 30% infill (for balance)</p><p>Blade/Blade Connectors: 0.2 layer height, 3 perimeters, 20% Infill</p><p>--------------------------------</p><p><strong>POST-PROCESSING:</strong><br>I basically just did some light sanding and gave the handle a simple leather wrap for improved comfort. I plan to get some spraypaint on my printed model to make the blade more shiny.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Original model by mfritz on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1715548</p>
