Hi guys, I've 3D printed a Master Sword for a friend. Ill post a picture when it's all pieced together. I dont really have much experience painting props asides from spray cans and I want it to look like this: Any ideas?

First print: Much satisfaction. The ears were the part I was the most confident with.

I might just cut the piece into printable sized pieces and hollow each individually. I always intended to mold it anyway and at least this way I'll reduce the amount of material used.

It's not even letting me get to any resolution settings, it crashes the moment i click Offset. Here's the bottom of the helmet though:

This process crashes my meshmixer 9 / 10 times unfortunately. However I don't quite understand how to get the neck hole. How do i make the base of the helmet open/non-mainfold?

I've had trouble with doing that on Autodesk design. The piece is made up of so many shapes that whenever i tried to split the solid or shell it, it tells me "invalid operation". I never planned to print it solid but I'm very new to the software... Is there another program I can shell the .STL...

It's been a long couple of months getting the design to a stage that I'm happy with. This is by far the most complex thing I've ever tried to design and I've only been using this program for 6 months. Iv'e also had to modify my printer to counteract the cold weather we're having in Adelaide...

Right, Now... Over the years I have tried and failed to make these helmets, but now I have a 3D printer i'm going to try and attempt it again. And with more hope! It'll be my first 3D printed prop I have actually designed myself, so I'm still getting used to the design software. So far I have...

Thanks very much. Yeah 29" or 74cm in my case. The Mace is 119cm. - - - Updated - - - They are very nice sketches! Gandalf's and Thorin's swords yea? Are they 3D files? I'd be glad to try print a sword to add to my weapons arsenal

Hey guys this is my LOTR collection of props which i have accumulated over the past couple years. Hope you guys appreciate it more than my facebook friends! My most recent build: Witch king of Angmar helmet, 3D printed in PLA. The Witch King's flail. Built this a long time ago from mdf and...
