![]() ![]() When we were speaking to Oliveira about the design he told us that a long rod running the length of the prop would be a better solution for rigidity compared to the pegs and screws used in the impressive finished print in the gallery below. That ornate guard featuring the wolf heads is the widest part at 15″ (38cm). The result is a rather hefty weapon measuring in at 54″ (137cm) long. Modelling took around a week to complete in Fusion 360 with a further week for printing after that, with each section of the blade eating up six to eight hours. Israel Oliveira took a stab at making his own full size print of Aerondight by first trying to work out the scale of sword using reference pictures and mentions of Geralt’s height. With all the unique swords in the Witcher 3, and the rest of the series, there’s a lot of inspiration for makers to come in and 3D print the lot of them.
