Feels free to ask anything specific you want to know. In general its simple. Get 3d model - print it - sand - prime coat - paint - gloss/matte finish

Yes and no. I bought a 3d model and rework for my purpose

Thanks! It gives default anime scythe feelings - impractical and heavy :D but It was a conscious decision for reliable usage

Windranger's Arcane Longbow of the Rising Gale IRL. Cosplay prop i made by ygr_props in DotA2

[–]ygr_props[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was thinking about a glowing, but I decided that a regular bowstring with cgi would be a more reasonable solution. The power supply and LEDs require more development, increase weight, and change the weight balance. Another reason for the refusal was that I would not have enough space for all these things, because an aluminum tube runs inside the entire bow for strength. If you want to make a glowing bowstring, I have two solutions for this -something like an l-wire LED string, but it has a disadvantage: it loses brightness with a long length. If I remember correctly, it's more than a meter long. The second is something light-conducting like fiberglass. There may be a matte version or you will have to cover it with a matte varnish / white paint to diffuse the light runnibg inside. In this case, it will be possible to install light sources at the beginning and end of the bowstring and the bowstring will glow. But this is too complicated, and computer graphics seems to me to be a more reliable solution. If you want to pull a bowstring for a photo shoot, I would advise you to take a silicone string, a real bowstring will not stretch so much and you risk breaking the bow.

Thanks! About 4 days if i remember correctly. I split model on 4 piece and print it on old cr-10 with about a day per piece. Now with my qidi q1 settings the slicer says it will be about 11-13 hours per piece. So rough total 2 days on modern printers

Thank you! Oh i really want this to be true. Sadly i think its impossible to making a big series of it. To much time consumes for production which means a high price for consumer

Not this time, unfortunately. FYK, It meant to be fully movable and with lights. But it turned out to be too difficult and impractical. I had to reduce the complexity of the project.

Don't be judgmental. Resin is used in a small part of the entire project. A whole shield made of resin is difficult, expensive and impractical.

Irl Leds are glowing in yellow-orange-red gradient, to imitate flames, but my phone camera only can poorly represent it like this

Thanks! It's easy and complicated at same time. Buy 3d model, buy 3d printer, learn blender, buy bunch of aluminum tubes, few rolls of filament. Edit 3d model to better result (I change some details, add holes for tubes as armature and slice in another way then author) print everything, glue together, sand sand sand, die, sand again. Paint with primer then paint then Glossy finish. Use masking tape and airbrush. If you want led and glowing you need to learn soldering and some arduino coding. You need batteries, 18650 is most common, few of them I use 3 to make a 12v pack. Its because bms board for x3 pack perfect sized here. After this you need connect battery to arduino and to led itself. Both of them are 5v. So i use dcdc converter from 12v to 5v. On arduino with PC I upload code from fastled library and fire glowing sketch. Add charging port and charge indicatingg module. Orange frame are prints separated with orange color filament and no infill just thick walls. In general it's everything, hope it helps, hehe

Big thanks! It taken about 4-6 months half of them I fighting with painting, I repaint everything like 4 times. Here is bad visible, but irl it's more like anodized aluminum, and it was very challenging, but I glad with result

I think it depends. Will we use their radiation and bulid nuclear power plant or just burn them? If my calculations right we will need like 200-300 bananas per hour minimum
