Alec Lightwood usesa bow and arrow as his weapon of choice in Shadowhunters. It has several shadowhunter runes and the grip and limbs are wrapped.
This prop is modeled to be life size at 58" in height, or 1473mm.
It is designed in parts, uncut and cut into printable pieces.
- Riser
- Top Limb
- Bottom Limb
- Arrow Head
- Arrow Shaft
- Arrow Fletch
It includes modeled 'wrapped' parts, as well as plain pieces that can be wrapped in tape after printing. The top and bottom limb are held in place by printable screws to make disassembly and transport more convenient.
The model also includes 'unstrung' parts. When printed, the bow would appear like a real bow that has not been strung. I am not responsible for 3d printed limbs breaking if you print this version and try to string it like a real bow. This prop is for costume purposes only and is not intended to function like a real bow.
PRINT SETTINGS: Use the best settings for your printer and filament. Orient the part so that minimal supports are needed. Parts that will flex should be printed horizontally and not vertically for extra strength. At this size, .2mm layer height still looks great.
Files are made for printers with 200x200mm bed minimum. Uncut files are also included so you can cut them in your slicer program (or with 3D builder in Windows) to fit your printer.
PRINT ALL FILES IN THE BASIC PARTS FOLDER TO MAKE A BOW
- If you want a string groove in the limb, print the parts in the optional limb parts with groove folder and do not print 'Limb top strung 3' or Limb bottom strung 3'
- If you want the modeled wraps on the bow parts, print everything in the "Optional wrapped parts folder. Do not print 'Limb top strung 2', 'Limb bottom strung 2', or 'Riser Grip' in the Basic parts folder.
The Limb parts with groove are modeled with a groove that holds your bow string in place. This is optional.
The arrow comes with two different heads.
No scaling is required. This is modeled in mm to be a life size prop.
