Zero's Order Death Scythe

Dangerous Ladies' 3D models for Zero's Order Death scythe.
Model by Jennifer Rezny (@quicksparrows)

.stl format. Cut for a 250mm tall printer. Blade finishes at about 36" long, handle finishes at about 60". It is designed to fold, but you can make it permanently fixed in place by simply gluing the t into its socket.

Includes both a textured and untextured version. The textured version is obviously a little more computer-intensive to slice, and trickier to sand, but the results are pretty.

You will need the following hardware:
- a 1/4" bolt, approx 2" long, with corresponding nut
- 1/4" rods in the following lengths: 6.5", 27.5", 5.5", 9.5", 13.5" x2 and 7.75" x2.

For the rods, you can use aluminum, steel or wood, but I suggest steel or aluminum for the handle and wood for the head. Steel is heavier and less expensive, and aluminum is much lighter but more expensive. Wood is good for the head because it is lighter weight and mostly just to add a bit of without making the head overly heavy.

The folding mechanism is done through tension: you should tighten the bolt enough that it feels snug and moves only when you push it. If your printer's tolerances are off, it might feel a little loose; once you've painted it it'll be tighter, or you can put a thin layer of glue on the round part of the t until it fits tighter, or a layer of thin felt to add friction. 

The bolt is attached permanently to a cap piece, and then the nut is attached permanently to the other cap piece. The bolt should attach to the piece with the slotted top; you can use a coin or screwdriver in this slot to tighten it through the blade and handle and into the nut on the opposite side.

I suggest finishing the scythe with a hammered metal paint or something textured; it saves body shopping and adds gnarly detail.

I've also included flat versions of the handle. Flat pieces print MUCH stronger than upright ones, but generally have more step lines. The strength is really so much better, though, making for a more durable prop; I suggest doing it that way, but if you want to print upright, print with extra thick walls on the handle.
