Big update:
Got the high grit sanding done today, along with a brass set set screw for the shroud layers.
Al thats left on this end is the polish itself
The biggest update was a redesigned and re-printed bone section.
I think this will finally be the final iteration, designed to be more defined and elegant. This will also hold the recharge port
next Ill have to sand the print smooth, paint, and detail it
Thanks for looking peeps!
Mmm'kay, I'm going to reveal what a total noob I am and ask, "how can you install without wires?"
This is looking really good. A very unique hilt

Hey @Larzachard ! If you have a woodburning tool you could score little lines and dots into the "bone" section to make it appear more realistic. Just make sure to put a fan on to blow the fumes away from you; I can't emagine inhaling burning plastic is good for you. If the burn marks themselves aren't dark enough, you can fill the crevaces you just made with a heavy wash of burnt sienna and raw umber and smear it across the surface of the "bone" and then wipe or scour the excess off to stain the "bone" a more bone-like color. You could add washes of grey too to suggest aged bone. Or cream to suggest a newly harvested bone. Good Luck! And keep at it, it's looking good so far!
Absolutely gorgeous! I've been wanting to do something with a bone handle and your build is very encouraging.
Hey everyone!
First off thank you all so much for the support on this build
As for an update, sadly there isnt one yet. The bone I sent off to be painted fell off the face of the earth, not a big deal because I just printed another one. That being said I still cant paint for squat, so does anyone have someone to recommend?
For now, just look at that mirror polish!!
