The ornate sword from Langeid, Norway; was found in Grave 8 in Setesdalen valley in 2011. This sword is from the early 11th century, and is quite unique for many reasons, the main one being that it has precious metals in the hilt. Here is a link if you want to learn more about the sword: https://www.khm.uio.no/english/collections/objects/the-ornate-sword-from-langeid.html
The handle on the artifact is quite short, only 6.5cms long. So, I have included two handles, one of accurate length, and one long enough to fit my whole hand.
Hardware:
Making this model requires a 36'' long, 1/4'' threaded metal rod. It is not essential, but the model would not be very sturdy without it
Printing:
All pieces are in the correct orientation for printing*.
Layer height: 0.15mms
Speed: 25mm/s; I do not recommend printing the blade pieces any faster than this, otherwise they might tip over during printing, the hilt pieces can be printed a bit faster.
Supports:
Only the hilt guards require supports, I have included two different .3mfs of supported hilt guards.
Assembly:
I have included full assembly instructions and an exploded view of the assembly. I also recommend gluing the pieces together. I use SuperGlue
*The resolution of the hilt guards is very much affected by the orientation of the pieces, the two .3mf files are in different orientations: Diagonal, and Flat. Here's what that looks like:
However, the flat oriented hilt guards will probably be more flush with one another.
