This sword was designed after the snake sword concept concept found in the Cosplay Guidelines released by Ubisoft for their 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey video game.
Requirements
1.3D printer
2.thread
3.Glue
4. Clips
5. Primer
6. Metallic silver, metallic black and metallic brass. Metal spray paint is optional.
7.Acrylic black paint
8. Tape for artists
9.Gloves (optional)
10. Sand paper of various grades
11. Filler (such as wood filler)
Step 1: print the design
Print each part 0.3 mm thick with 15% coverage. For more accurate fittings, print a layer height of 0.2 mm with 20% coverage. The design has been divided into several parts to simplify printing and reduce the number of supported printers.
Step 2: Build the Design
Once all the parts are printed, start gluing the pieces together. Each fragment of the file is numbered to glue the pieces in order. Use the clamps to hold the pieces together as the glue dries. I recommend giving glued pieces 24-48 hours to dry and install completely.
Step 3: Post-Processing
1). Once the glue is fully installed, use filler to fill the joints of the structure. Pour filler if necessary.
2). Apply primer. Sand the primer after drying. I like wet sand because it produces less dust, a longer sandpaper life and provides a smoother surface than dry sanding. Apply an additional primer as needed and repeat the grinding procedure as necessary.
Step 4: painting the blade
1). In a well-ventilated area, start painting the blade with a black basecoat. I recommend wearing latex gloves so as not to put paint on your hands if you have not hung a print for drawing.
2). Using silver metallic spray paint, quickly pass a short distance from the blade.
3). Repeat step 2 with black paint.
4). Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a galvanized metal surface. Change the distance you hold the paint from the blade for each color skip.
Step 5: painting the pen
1). Lubricate the top of the blade below the handle. This will help you accidentally paint the blade with pen colors.
2). Start with a spray paint pen. I have finished switching between brass and copper colors for the chameleon effect.
Step 6: Add A Dirt Effect.
Only new swords are shiny.A used sword will have some affection for it. Use some black acrylic paint to rub the black paint into the low spots and edges of the structure. Wipe off excess paint.
Step 7: Add Edge Details
With silver paint, paint the edges of the structure. These are mainly elevated areas of design.
