Monster Hunter Generations Greatsword Display Piece

myminifactory

Here I proudly present to you the Monster Hunter Generations Great Sword promotional display! For this contest, I wanted to make something that Capcom could truly appreciate and proudly display at their office, and at the same time, I wanted something that would serve as an advertisement for both Capcom and Raise3D, so I decided to create this cool display piece.  And what’s a Monster Hunter Generations contest without a GIGANTIC FULL SIZED SWORD! So yes, I also made a full sized version of this which you can find on my profile.  I also made a youtube video showing off this design which you can find here. Here is a list of all the key features for this design: -My design displays the sword in an upright position, optimizing space for displaying at booths and conventions (like CES 2018) -Visiblility - Reads very well from far away due to it's height and boldness of the letters -Great Advertising for Capcom's new game Monster Hunter Generations and Raise3D's printer line -Ease of printing – is 100% Support Free and easy to assemble -Uses a 1/8’’ rod to secure sword to its base and helps it from tipping -Features a realistic rocky base with detailed texture -Features the title of the game in 3D exactly how it is in the cover art (also good for take aways)  Optimized for normal sized and larger sized (Raise3D) printers -Regular (22'' Blade) and Split Handle version (MHG SEPARATE Handle) to easily print in handle colors -Version for Raise3D (Raise3D Split): Split into 2 pieces to take advantage of Raise 3D’s printing height capabilities -Base – I offer a single version for larger printers (Raise3D) and a “split” version for smaller printers Optimized for Raise3D’s Dual Printing Capabilities -I offer 3 different versions for the face plate (text on front of base) -V1 (MHG Sword Separate): Each word is printed separately – Good for all printers (Easiest to print and assemble) -V2 (MHG Promotional Display COMBINED): Contains only 3 Pieces with the text combined with the (black) background (good for manual filament switching) -V3: (Dual Extrusion) Optimized for Dual Printing – Good for printers with dual extruders and minimizes assembly (like the Raise3D) Sword and Base Assembly: For the sword, insert all the pins and glue the pieces together. You will need to get a 1/8’’ rod and cut it to be just short of 14’’. This is what will keep the sword upright to the base. The base is pretty straightforward: simply insert the pins and glue the two halves together (for the split version). Face Plate Assembly: For version 1 (“separate”), first, print out all the pieces in their assigned colors (white, yellow, red, and black), and first, take the letters and press them into the black piece (this will require a bit of force), and lastly, take the red pieces and super glue them in place, and that’s it! V2 (combined) is pretty self-explanatory and the V3 (Dual Extrusion) is a bit more specific, so those who do dual extrusion will know what to do with it. (Also, sorry for the extremely large amount of files. I know it can get a bit jumbled with all the file names, but right now MMF does not support folders, so for now, just search for in the search bar which version you would like to print. I have them labeled for each version in parenthesis.) I hope you like my design Capcom, and I hope it brings even more attention to you and your game. And who knows. Maybe we could even work together on some things in the future.
