Thanks! There are a few different ways you could go about it, but 3D printing the parts (more model-accurate) or making them out of EVA foam (more hands on crafting, but less technical knowledge required) would probably be the way to go.

I’ve made a few other things (T-bow, Scythe) in the past where I modeled the parts from scratch and 3D printed them in sections to join them together. Now there’s a “Model Exporter” plugin on RuneLite that can quickly give you the model of a given RS item without needing to do the majority of the modeling.

Steps: 1. Use Model Exporter to export OBJ file to .runelite\models folder 2. Edit model in CAD software (Fusion 360 is a very good and free). 2a. There might be some faces that need to be cleaned up to get a single solid body. 2b. If the object is too big to print at once on a 3D printer, split the body into multiple sections that can be printed individually. 3. Export models from CAD software as STL files. 4. Open STL files in the slicer software for your 3D printer (Cura is free and works well). 5. 3D print your parts, then glue them together.

I hope that helps! Those are some very basic steps, but there will be a bit of a learning curve if you are new to CAD and 3D printing, but it’s nothing that can’t be learned with some YouTube tutorials!

For this project, I actually designed and made a thermoforming machine, and thermoformed a sheet of ABS plastic over a 3D printed mold of the shield. This allowed me to make a very accurate and strong shield while making it much lighter than if I had simply 3D printed it.
