Forged in the likeness of the Dark Lord’s dread armor, these Sauron’s Greaves are brutal, angular, and unmistakably powerful. With jagged paneling and layered plating, they evoke dominion and strength — perfect for towering villains, warlords, or high-fantasy antagonists.

These greaves are designed for cosplay, costume builds, or action figure upgrades, bringing the menace of Mordor to your next project.

Measuring Instructions

For Cosplay Wearables:

Calf Circumference: Measure around the thickest part of your calf

Greave Height: Measure from just below the knee to the top of your boot or ankle

Ankle Width: Measure just above your ankle bone for proper bottom fit

Adjust scaling in your slicer based on your measurements — add 1–2 cm for comfort or to wear over padded clothing.

After printing, use a hairdryer or heat gun (low setting) to slightly shape the greaves to your leg contour if needed.

Attach using straps, Velcro, or leather lacing through built-in or added holes.

For Action Figures / Miniatures:

Scale by Leg Height: Use character’s shin height (typically ⅓ of figure’s full height)

Attachment: Print hollow for peg-in design or glue directly onto figure legs

Use resin for sharp detail on small edges.
