Alice Cooper: The Executioner’s Blade

Welcome to the theatrical nightmare of shock rock! This 3D display plaque captures the infamous stage show centerpiece of Alice Cooper—the executioner's guillotine—layered with the iconic blood-drip logo.

This model is part of my Slave To The Metal 90s Drawing Series /Collection, where I am systematically turning my original hand-drawn concept art of classic band logos into clean, printable display pieces.

Key Design & Display Features:

• Dual Display Options: Place it freestanding on a desk or shelf, or mount it flush to the wall using the built-in keyholes (sized for #3 screws).

• Customizable Spiderweb Brackets: Includes optional gothic spiderweb corner brackets can be installed in any or all corners. Note that special files are provided for the lower spiderwebs to seamlessly wrap around the lettering.

Dimensions & Specifications

• Overall Size: 11.7" W x 8.3" H (297mm x 211mm)

• Frame Depth: 0.5” x 0.7" (12.7mm x 17.8mm)

• Mounting: Integrated keyhole slots spaced on the rear posts for flush mounting.

Print Settings

• Material: PLA or PETG

  • Blade: Silver/Metallic

  • Main Frame: Dark Brown or Wood-fill

  • Spiderwebs: White Silk

• Layer Height: 0.16mm to 0.20mm (0.12mm for extra smooth bevels).

• Infill: 10%-15% (Gyroid recommended).

• Supports: None needed for main structural parts when laid flat on the bed.

  • Blade_Carriage: Requires support

• Bed Orientation: All files pre-oriented. Rotate long beams 45⁰ on standard 220 x 220mm print beds to fit.

Step-by-Step Assembly Guide

Note: Test-fit all parts before applying glue. Lightly sand sliding tracks if movement isn't completely smooth.

1. Blade Assembly: Glue the Guillotine_Blade into the inset on the Blade_Carriage. Ensure the bevel side of blade faces forward.

2. Frame Side A: Glue the Lunette_Neck_Rest and Base_Brace into the matching recessed slots on one Upright_Post.

3. Insert Blade: Glue the assembled Blade Carriage at the very top of the post track (bevel facing front).

4. Frame Side B: Align and press the opposite Upright_Post onto the exposed joints; glue in place.

5. Top Beam: Glue the Top_Beam onto the alignment pegs atop both upright posts.

6. Attach Detail: Glue Corner_Spiderweb accents into frame corners. (4 on the front face, and an optional 4 on the back face for a fully detailed 360° display).

Optional Pulley Assemblies:

•  Single Pulley: Insert Pin through Bracket, add Spacer and Wheel, and secure with matching pin half and second spacer (use a tiny dab of CA glue inside the square peg slot—avoid getting glue on rotating wheel).

• Dual Pulley: Use the same step, but insert two pulley wheels instead of spacers.

• Glue Side Pulley assemblies near each end of the Top Beam, and the Double Pulley assembly in the center.

Pro-Tip for Printing Small Pulley Wheels (0.4 mm Nozzle):

• Lower outer wall speed to 15–20 mm/s and line width to 0.35 mm.

• Set layer height to 0.08–0.10 mm (enable Variable Layer Height in Bambu Studio / PrusaSlicer or Adaptive Layers in Cura).

• Alternative: Scale pulley parts up by 10–20% in your slicer if your printer struggles with tiny tolerances (note: upscaled pulley brackets won't sit flush inside beam trim slots). Or print with a 0.2mm nozzle or resin printer.
