The Sword of Omens is the mystic weapon, embedded with the sacred gem of the Thundercats, the Eye of Thundera. While several iterations of this sword have been made over the years, I chose to create one capturing the look and feel of the one depicted in the 80s animated series, while giving it a more appealing contours. In addition, I chose to make the design modular. This makes it easier to print its various detailed components, reducing print artifacts in prominent areas, while allowing for parts to be printed for better strength. Printing separate parts also allows parts to be printed using a variety of colors and material types. The updated DO version 2 is similar to version 1, but assembly requires glues for some parts and should not be mixed with parts from version 1. Version 2 has more realistic scale by default.

*The dagger is designed for custom printing **and easy assembly. *
