I have recently started 3d printing Gimli's walking axe from the Lord of the Rings movies. I found a model of the axe here https://grabcad.com/library/gimli-s-walking-axe-lotr-lord-of-the-rings-1. I proceeded to cut up the axe into pieces that would fit on my printer. I added a hole up the center of the handle that a dowel rod could be inserted to provide a location for fitting together and gluing. I also added pin holes to hold the pieces in place so they wouldn't be twisted. Here are several pictures I have taken that show the progress of the axe. All pieces are printed and glued together. I have begun the finishing steps and have a lot of sanding work to do to get this smooth. I will continue to post updates as I make progress.
