Stone Age Axe

thingiverse

My son is studying the Stone Age period at school and asked me if i could create an axe for him. Based on an actual artefact, I modelled a simple 3 part axe. Print parts in appropriate materials - wood effect handle. Stone head and material of colour choice for strapping. Just some glue needed to complete. Please note: not to be used for hunting or gathering. Enjoy! Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: low res will suffice Infill: low infill Notes: I printed this with a 0.8 nozzle and 0.3 layer height. Its a little rough but does add to the character. Supports are only needed for the axe head. the strapping will print okay without but add them if you wish. Post-Printing Print parts in materials and colour appropriate. The handle can either be printed complete (if your build area is large enough) or in 2 parts. Glue handle together, slide strapping over but do not glue until the head has been positioned in its handle slot. Pull strapping down the handle to achieve a nice tight axe head fit. Glue all parts.
