Molly Weasley's wand

thingiverse

The original needed a bigger printer than my Anet A8, so I loaded this into meshmixer, plane cut it twice, once so it was flat to start printing, to get better curves, then separated handle and wand body so they'd fit on my bed. I also made the wand and handle hollow so it can be filled with hot glue, and or Green Stuff epoxy resin, so when re-assembled it is solid and won't break easily. Pics show it glueing. I printed it opaque so the pictures would show the resin inside. I also for extra strength, placed a metal needle (nozzle cleaner) embedded in the green stuff at the join of the handle and body. Once dried I gave it a light sand with a fine sand paper, then used chaos black spray to give it the black undercoat. Will upload a picture of finished item once I'm done painting.
