This is the Guardian Sword from Zelda, Breath of the Wild. It’s fully 3D Printed and has a ton of NeoPixel LEDs. This thing is super bright and looks so awesome!

The blade is designed in Fusion 360 using reference images from the game. Its designed to be 3D printed in several pieces and connected together using screws.

The sword is pretty massive, it’s about 34in in length and has over 90 NeoPixels.
Once I got it in the game, the first thing I thought was, wow this is so cool, I have to make it!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
