This is a functional switch axe (printed at 1/8 scale, 1' long) capable of shifting between axe and sword forms thanks to a pair of fastening pins (short adn long) that lock the sword and axe into place for sword mode and lock the axe into its higher position for axe mode. I have based it on some of the more industrial designs from the game, relyign less on creature aesthetics and more on forged matals. Idealy this would be painted white and gold with vibrant red trim where available. The transformation takes approcimately 15 seconds at its current scale.
Because these STL files were exported from Autodesk Inventor, they are 1/10 the intended size. When I brought them into the slicer software I used, I had to increase their size by 25% to make them 1/8 full size. If you want to print this at 100% scale (whihc I do not reccommedn but would love to see), simply add a zero to the end of the percent scale tool.
Use raft and Support Material. I cannot emphasize this enough. Though I sliced the parts so that minimal support and raft would be needed, they still have pin holes to hold them together, and these cannot print over thin air.
