Prop making

A friend of mine needed a fancy dress prop for an event. A bit of a rush job, so it needed to be ready with minimal preparation.


A Lara Croft, Tomb Raider ice axe. Printed in PETG.

My friend supplied the STL files. I decided that they needed a little bit of work. There were too many parts for my liking and split straight across, so no strength when assembled. 


I joined as many of the meshes together as I could in a hurry.  The remainder needed to be glued together.


My print bed is large enough to print most of it as one piece.
