Virtuous Contract 2B sword from Nier Automata Cosplay Prop

Embark on a journey into the world of NieR:Automata with this intricately designed 3D printable replica of 2B's default weapon—a stunning samurai sword measuring approximately 165 centimeters in length. Crafted with precision, this build incorporates wooden dowels for stability and features two channels along the total length to reinforce each glued section.

Crafted with precision, this build incorporates internal round channels for dowels, ideally 7 mm in diameter (approximately 0.275 inches), for stability. For those without exact 7 mm dowels, standard 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) dowels can be used with slight adjustments.

To enhance structural integrity and prevent breakage, I recommend utilizing steel round rods as internal supports. This thoughtful design ensures not only a seamless assembly but also long-lasting durability.

Perfectly tailored for Ender 3-sized printers (220x220x245 mm volume), the sword is thoughtfully divided into printable sections, ensuring a seamless assembly process. Witness the fusion of technology as high-detail hilt parts are crafted with a resin printer, while the blade parts and guard come to life with a Creality FDM 3D printer.

In the showcased build, metallic and chrome paints enhance the overall aesthetic, complemented by acrylic and oil paints for intricate details. Real hair embellishes the blade's end, and included are parts for the chain link connecting it to the rest of the blade. The hilt features an engraved fabric texture, adding authenticity to the design.

The uncut model, virtuouscontract.stl, spans an impressive 155 cm in length. When fully assembled, the whole sword will measure 1.3 meters (51.18 inches), delivering a striking presence to your collection.

Thank you for choosing my models. Enjoy the journey of bringing this iconic weapon to life!
