Yugioh Light Up Dark Magician Staff

pinshape

Want to be Dark Magician Girl? With this Dark Magician Girl’s Staff, as seen in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Link video game, you can be! This is a multiple part model of Dark Magician Girl’s staff. The model is split up so that you can print them in different colors and materials, if desired.  The largest piece of the staff can be printed as one piece with a tall enough printer, however a split version is also included. For greater stability and durability when assembling the split version of the longest piece of the staff, a small piece of .5 inch diameter PVC pipe can be used as a connector inside.  After printing all the pieces, they can be attached with crazy glue and/or acetone. The best materials to print the staff is ABS  so that you can use acetone to attach pieces together and to smooth the surface easily. The yellow swirl on the top and the yellow ball on the bottom should be printed in PETG or NYLON since they have the best transparency and shine. Be sure to print ABS with a printer that has a enclosure or in a warm room to avoid layer lifting and/or failed prints. The staff has optional electronics and LEDs inside to illuminate the swirl on the top. If you add electronics, you will need to drill holes into the staff where you want the button and on/off switch to be.  Below is a list of materials you will need to print the staff as well as the optional electronics. Materials and parts can be swapped for other suitable options at your discretion. If you have any questions or comments or corrections please message/comment and I will help or update the design.  Three types of filament were used in the posted staff:  PETG (translucent yellow), PETG offers great transparency for leds inside the staff swirl. If omitting the LEDs and electronics, can be replaced with opaque yellow in your choice of material. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod... ABS (blue) https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...
