Everyone knows how awesome cosplay events are when cool swords complete the costumes. And if you have a 3D printer for beginners<\/a>, you can add a 3D printed sword to your video game and movie props collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The variety of cool sword designs you can transform into a 3D print makes it difficult to choose the one that suits the character you are impersonating the best. But we are sure you will find your best sword design STL files below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D Printed Sword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gambody’s sword 3D model roundup will give a little push into getting your hands on the 3D printable files. So, turn on your 3D printer and build a 3D printed katana, collapsible sword, weapons from Halo, Legends of Zelda, Dota 2 and other video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think of your beloved characters and try to recreate their costumes, you will see that a 3D printed sword is a must to finish off your look and impress everyone. Thanks to 3D printing websites<\/a>, you can find 3D sword STL files and breathe life into many awesome and unique projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D printing cool swords let you work on immense detail. Further, the interior of the 3D printed swords can be modified to incorporate elements that simply facilitate assembly or make space for electronic components like LED lights and sounds. Fair warning, though, a 3D printed sword isn’t usually known for its strength; still this prop is fantastic to build yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we want to show you some cool sword designs 3D printed and painted by enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. WoW Frostmorne Sword 3D Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fans of WoW video games can replicate one of the most fabulous large-scale props. The World of Warcraft Frostmourne 3D printed sword stands 1.3 meters (over 51 inches) tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only imagine having it as a centrepiece of your Halloween party or cosplay costume. No trick; only treats will fall into your basket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can print this sword 3D model in several separate parts. The 0.2mm layer height ensures accurate and error-free printing results. You can download WoW sword STL<\/a> for free or get it already printed and painted for $499.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Skyrim Sword Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fantasy video game Skyrim played from the first and third-person perspective is the inspiration for many cosplayers worldwide. The cool sword designs the video game characters flaunt in the game mesmerize and amaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One company, Gateros Plating from the United Kingdom, has been turning 3D printable sword versions into the too-real thing indeed. A high degree of reality is achieved with the unique technique of printing and finishing each object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3D<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These cool swords from Skyrim are printed in PLA and finished with metal plating. Although they look real, you cannot mistake the objects for weapons. They are not sharp enough, and the purpose behind 3D printing video game props is to collect exceptional items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Master Sword 3D Print<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cool swords you see while playing the Legend of Zelda<\/a> video game can become a reality. Fans of this game love showing off their Zelda-inspired creations, such as Master sword 3D print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even combine different sword design ideas into one project. It was what one maker did when working with sword STL files of two models. And because the hilt was too large to print entirely on a 3D printer’s heat bed, the Zelda fan broke it down into several parts and glued them after 3D printing. He then spray-painted the Master sword 3D print and gave it a glossy upper coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Master<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another iconic 3D printed sword from The Legend of Zelda reaches 1.2 meters (over 47 inches). Due to its giant size, this interpretation of the Master sword 3D print will appeal to you. The creator made it available in two different heights because most of those who saw the first variant thought it to be too big. Thus, a smaller scale of Master Sword appeared (you know that Link’s height is different in each video game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awesome sword 3D model consists of eleven parts and comes with dowel joints making it very strong. Also, this project requires no glue to put it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3D<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to the maker, you can use a 0.2mm layer height. The infill can reach 10%. Also, you can 3D print a sword in 35 hours or 20 hours, depending on the size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create more cool swords based on your beloved video game and the same legendary Blade of Evil’s Bane 3D model STL<\/a> files. Use your imagination while painting it, and you can come up with numerous versions that will be unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legend of Zelda brought more cool sword designs for 3D printing. If you already own a Master Sword 3D print, you can recreate the Guardian Sword exerted by Link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks as wild as the game itself. Add a battery, NeoPixel lights and amaze everything with your unique creation. Make sure to download the 3D sword STLs<\/a> and build it at 0.1mm layer height without supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
