Frodo's / Bilbo's / Sam's Orc detecting sword (STING)

prusaprinters

<p>I just watched LotR again with the kids and thought I would make a STING sword, in case there were any Orc's near where I live. It turns out there aren't since it doesn't glow like in the movies :-)</p> <p>I made a cavity for a Tea Light which fits but the lovely blue silk filament is too thick to glow when the tea light is on. At least it looks nice anyway. I printed in two parts with some small pegs to give a little strength when joining together.</p> <p>I might give this another go with a different filament. It's also a little smaller than I originally planned... but Hobbits are small :-)</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>FlashForge</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Adventurer 3</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> unbranded PLA Blue and black <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I needed supports for the handle only, the blade printed without supports.</p> I realize there are other models of this sword but I didn't see one that lights up... shame mine didn't either!</div></p> </p></p> Category: Costume
