Pottermore Wand

thingiverse

This is the wand my girlfriend was assigned by Olivander's wand shop on the Pottermore website. I modelled it in Maya directly from the artwork given by the website.

GO FORTH NOBLE WARRIOR Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Steel Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1-0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I printed both parts vertically, as shown in the .stl files. I used supports for the shaft, but none for the handle. Each part took about 45 minutes - 1 hour to print. NB. My girlfriends wand said 10" (and surprisingly swishy, lol), but if yours is different, and you want to be accurate to the description, you can change the scale along the length of the wand in whatever printing software you're using (I use Cura). Make sure you keep the other 2 dimensions' scale at 100% and the 2 bits should still slot together well. Post-Printing Assembly Once printed, the parts slot together easily. The shaft has a ~5mm recess in which the handle fits. It can only go in one way, so no worries about putting it in the wrong orientation. I used gorilla glue to hold them togeths. I gave both bits a decent enough sand-down before painting, a good layer of primer, a layer of brown arcrylic paint, and finally some darker browns and blacks for weathering. (Paint job's a bit dodgy as I only had a super fat brush and CBA'd to go to the shop)
