She-Ra Sword of Protection (No glue, assembles smooth! Doesn't have to be green, but mine is)

thingiverse

Are you a big fan of the fifth season of Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power? Well, I've never seen the show, but apparently this sword is in it. The one in the show isn't green. Don't ask why my print is green. This design carries the usual hallmarks of my work: no glue, some threads, and a whole lotta dovetails. The full assembly is 40" long with a 2.5" wide blade. As always, all components can be printed without supports. Components are separated so they can be printed in colors accurate to the show, or they can all be printed in green. There are no rules. No one can stop you from printing everything in green. I wasn't sure how stable this sword would feel to hold, but the handle turned out to be my favorite attachment style yet. The blade's slight wobble and small gaps are a consequence of its easy assembly, same as all my non-green sword projects. By the way, it's not like a *wanted* this sword to be green. I actually ordered light blue and bronze filaments, but they won't arrive until next month, so I used a color that I had too much of. Sue me. Or sue Amazon, since this seems to be a supply chain issue. Broadly speaking, more people should sue Amazon. This design was a request from one of my Patrons. Members of my Patreon can request projects for me to create (not necessarily swords and knives) and are able to see behind the scenes as a I design new projects. https://www.patreon.com/giedzinski As always, thank you for your support, and please read the instructions.
