Destiny 2 Quickfang w/ Connectors - Kiếm Hunter (Prop in 3D)

Quickfang from Destiny 2, the legendary class sword of the Hunters! I edited the model and added connecting rods between the parts to keep the sword together and add strength. The model is super cool, and is worth a print for any destiny fan. 

In editing the model, some abberations have appeared on the surface of the grip part, but none are major and are barely visible. One of the connections will need a little sanding to be fully flush, it is the connection near the center of the sword but that is to be expected with larger scale prop projects like this, and it is a very small imperfection. The connectors are designed to fit together flush, and alkso allow superglue to hold the entire prop together. One extra connecting rod is included.  

I printed mine with thick infill, which made the center of mass close to a connection joint on the blade which isn't ideal but the connecting rods hold everything together. Higher infill will mean more strength but also more weight and pressure on the connection joints. The higher infill on the connecting rods, the higher strength of the joints. The included profile is 15% infill on everything but the rods which are higher. 

Superglue or a similar adhesive are needed to fully assemble the prop. 

I have included profiles for a single plate print and mulit plate print!

All credit to the original poster, I just edited the existing model.
