Predator Short sword

I did promise i will make some custom predator weapons so here's the first one :) 

A short sword inspired by the Yautja  culture, blending their iconic aesthetics with subtle nods to samurai tradition. While working on this, I envisioned the sword as something a Predator warrior would have brought with them to Earth—something functional, symbolic, and steeped in their alien craftsmanship.

Rather than leaning heavily into human samurai designs, I focused on enhancing the Yautja's brutal yet ceremonial style. The result is a blade that feels rugged and practical, with intricate detailing that speaks to the warrior’s honor and legacy.

As an additional feature, I designed a pendant/charm that can be attached to the sword’s hilt or worn separately as a necklace. This serves as a personal touch to the weapon—symbolizing the warrior’s clan, victories, or a rite of passage. The charm comes in two variants:

  • Single-Sided: Ideal for filament 3D printing, optimized for easy printing and minimal post-processing.

  • Double-Sided: Perfect for resin printers, offering enhanced detail and a more polished finish.

To make it easier to print , as always, it comes as: 

  • STL files: Standard for 3D printing.

  • 3MF files: For those who prefer a more versatile format.

  • Presliced Models: Ready-to-print files, fully combined and optimized for smaller-scale printing with rod cutout for structural strength 

happy printing :)

The short sword is very, very good, and with a steel dowel the weight is perfect! I have printed the sword on 0.08mm, and I already made a colored slize. This is gonna eat a lot of fillament for flushing, but I will start this one next when SM-33 is done :-) total printing time for the sword will be: 5 days and a little :-) Is it possible to post any pictures of the makes I have done?
