Easy printable 'print by colour' Zangetsu Sword from Bleach! With 1.7 meters ('accurate' size from the bleach wikipedia) this is one impressive sword to show off!
Comes with pre-sliced files for a minimal print area of 150x10x175 (175.zip), 150x10x350 (350.zip) and unsliced files (full.zip) so you can slice this in meshmixer to your own required size. Comes with a regular or a blunt tip, the blunt tip ensures the sword can lean on itself without breaking off the point of the knife.
Strength is gained by using a 6x6 aluminum u-profile which compared to a regular rod is 'unbendable' light weight and doesn't have issues where a model can twist around it. The silver-black part fit easily together with slits and inside the black part there is room for a 6mm rod for internal strength. Add your own fabric to the handle for the ultimate cosplay
No supports needed, brim is advised.
[Update 30-06-2018] I've updated the model to hold a 6x6 aluminum u-profile which is much stronger, light and will bend less (almost not at all) and prevent 'twist'. This model is deemed much stronger after printing (currently in the process). Version 1 is available as download in V1.zip. Files changed Black 1 to 5, black-full and full blade!
[Update 03-07-2018] I've finished printing this model and it looks great!!!
[Update 06-06-2018] Added files for a printer with the max height of 175mm and added blunt versions of the tip.
