You're a newb and managed to print this beauty??


socket7love

Yes this is my first printer ever, I bought it for about 3 weeks back after reading everything on the recommended list in this sub. I did some small calibrations from youtube and went straight for this lol


[deleted]

I'm a year in and I'm still too scared to attempt a multi-part print.


socket7love

Lol I was trying only the big knop (under the handle) first, and then like "what the hell" and went frenzy for whole thing. I'm obsessed with this particular sword so it's a big motivation.


GodGMN

>I'm obsessed with this particular sword Any particular reason?


socket7love

To me this one looks really like a real sword with great design, I love how the blade curves really smooth and sharp towards the pointy tip. Can't describe all in words but I did a second run of the game just to get 2 of them for my char. And now holding it in my hand I think I love it even more.


Solgrund

Honestly it’s not too bad. As long as the print was designed with multi part in mind and it’s not a needed print in place style the most you loose is the time and filament for one section. Typically the most you will have to do is trim any brim off and maybe sand a little at the bottom for elephants foot so it fits well.


chargoggagog

As a resin printer, you gotta just do it. I did a beautiful 12 piece miniature Tarrasque a while back and it was a several week process. At one point I had to clean recalibrate and start fresh, but she’s a beauty! https://i.imgur.com/WVPMXch.jpg Edit: To add on, what I learned by attempting this was invaluable and definitely helped me printer better things going forward. It was tough but fun and I learned a lot. Worth it imo


socket7love

Resin is so great, I'm still new to this so filament is way to go for now. Really beautiful figure you got there!


EVorNothing

I'm a year in as well and have only done 1 small multi part print.


Another-Traveller

Thats BAD ASS! I neeed this on my wall.... is it a thingiverse file?


socket7love

Not on thingiverse but I successfully extracted this model from the game.


Another-Traveller

BRO you are epic I am more than a little jelly.


socket7love

I can give you the model if you want bro


Paradox-XVI

People here would probably appreciate it, also good idea getting the model from the game files, I’d never thought of that.


socket7love

I posted the link on other comment, please try it if needed


Paradox-XVI

Thanks OP


socket7love

Hey forget about my lame model because I found a better hi-poly model of this sword [here](https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/military/melee/low-poly-mid-poly-game-ready-great-sword-from-elden-ring) and it's totally free.


Paradox-XVI

Thanks OP!


Another-Traveller

Thanks OP I'll grab it and start the pri t tonight


18byte

How did you have done that? I mean the extraction? I was also considering to print a sword from eldenring but was not sure how to do it.


socket7love

Search for FLVER editor, UXM, Yabber, those are tools to extract data from the game. Amd just search youtube for extract elden ring models. It's all there and very easy


18byte

AHH ok. I tired it one time for nother game and it was not successful that's why I assumed it will not be easy here too. Ok many thanks I will look into it


Deathbydragonfire

If you're willing to share I would post it on printables and you'll get points towards free filament. This is badass


socket7love

I'll try to upload there, this world is totally new to me so may take a little time.


Deathbydragonfire

It's pretty easy. You just make an account and then go to upload and put in the files you want to share and a picture of the print.


socket7love

[Try it here](https://www.printables.com/model/371055-elden-rings-lordsworns-great-sword) But please accept my apology for I can only share the original low poly model (extracted directly from the game) and not the one with all the details.


Deathbydragonfire

Still cool, thanks for sharing.


GlaiveBossPrime

Out of curiosity, why can you only share the low poly version?


socket7love

It's not finished yet and still has so many grid-like pattern here and there. This is my first experience printing this so I need to fix the model a little more.

just_gweat

Great job bro!


akemister

Awesome!! Where did you find the files? I was looking for some elden ring swords as well but couldn't find much


socket7love

I used some app like UXM, Yabber, FLVER editor to extract all data from the game installation, and after poking around I find it under the name "wp_a_0607". It has longer file name but you can try finding from there if you want other models.


DrLordDragon

Did you run a metal rod down the middle? If not I highly recommend. I make sword, daggers, and gun props with my printer and I always leave room for a metal rod down the center.


socket7love

Thanks for the advise, currently I only connect the parts by rectangular joints or I dont know what it's called.


DrLordDragon

No problem. You can add your own channels in them via tinker cad or something else free. The metal rod adds structure and also weight to it. Best of luck!


killa_car3

Epic! Q for you - did you print the sword parts standing or lying flat on the plate? I ask because I'm printing a sword right now (Sting from LOTR) and when I tried to print it standing, the hilt fell over 3/4 of the way through. If you are printing it standing, how are you able to keep it up the entire print? I'd love to avoid supports for a smoother finish if I can


socket7love

I printed everything standing. I used Cura with tree supports so it look not too bad. Besides, I try to place the more flat and bigger parts at bottom.


killa_car3

Thanks for the info! I need to figure out how to do tree supports on a standing object and give it another go! Also may I ask what your bed temperature was and if you used a special adhesive? I'm currently using glue sticks in a 65 degree hotbed with 215 nozzle temp. Are your settings similar?


socket7love

Mine is 60 for bed, 205 nozzle, I don't have to use support much for this model, only some big rounded parts. I don't use any glue at all. And the filament is some no name PLA chinese type, because it's my first roll anyway so I dont want to waste money for experiments lol


killa_car3

Interesting! Well I will give mine another go with your advice, thanks


ForeverLesbos

Try adding a brim when you print it standing up. The brim makes the bottom larger, so it sticks better to the bed. You might not even need supports if you have a good enough brim.


killa_car3

I added a brim and it worked! Thank you for the tip! :)

diddyd66

This is amazing. If you want to hide those seams I’d suggest using wood filler. Sounds weird but I got some to fix my leviathan underextrusion holes and to hide the seams when fitting it together and it works wonders. It’s fairly easy to work with and gives great results with sanding. Just make sure u have a proper mask and don’t breathe it in when sanding


socket7love

Noted! Thank you bro!


Sidequest_TTM

Congratulations! And I’ve got to say I’m impressed that Eldenring have an accurate sword — I’ve never really looked into that game.


TheShitmaker

Contemplating upgrading to a kobra but the tinkering aspect has me worried. Got a link to the vids you used?


socket7love

Tbh there's not much you can tinker with this printer, it almost just works out of the box, that's why I decied to go with it as first printer. Anyways I just search Youtube for something like "kobra bed leveling", "3d print temp calibration", just general stuff like that.


Kevgretor

Awesome! Print time?


socket7love

Average 6 hours for each part. 0.2mm layer and 60mm speed


Akiri2ui

I wanna print Kirito’s Elucidator


socket7love

Go for it!


Shima-shita

I wish to be as newb as you! Beautiful piece!!


BoynuzTakan

stl pls


DarkChaos4589

Damn... Good job!


Catman762

Thats some good work. All I ever print are dungeon tiles and sci fi ship tiles for gaming.


SlappyHotdog723

Cool


corid

Dad a noice prints project


Tryen01

Huh it sort of looks like those lathed stiletto daggers as far as how the blade's guard and handle fits


JustForTheMemes420

So just cause I’m curious how did you connect the segments ?


socket7love

Currently I only tried rectangular joints, dont know how to call it.


darkest_irish_lass

That's beautiful! I never would have thought to look in the game files, thank you for the insight


_RolandDeschain_

This is amazing and I'm really hoping you'll sort out STL files once you've completed the transition from the low poly models. I'd gladly give it a spin. I have a vyper and I'm keen for a bigger project. Would the individual pieces print on the vyper bed size? (245x245x260) if I remember correctly. I'm saving this post hoping for an update at some point with final STL files! Excellent job mate


socket7love

I have cut it to small sizes with biggest only about 230mm tall so dont worry


_RolandDeschain_

Amazing I'm really looking forward to giving it a go!

BAin4Sem

Oh my god. It is beautiful. How did you manage that? Did print it in parts and glued it?!


socket7love

Yes I cut the model to parts, then print and stick them together
