A great model and a great way to celebrate the release of Riven. Found I had to angle the full length blade and paint supports up most of it to get it to fit in my printer. Pieces fit together perfectly and about 10” of 1/4” threaded rod holds it together with a bit of glue. Mini daggers are a different model.
I love this little guy. He was a little front heavy so I modified and added a strut that attaches underneath so he stands upright. Then I went heavy with the mods and created a flying drone version, I think it turned out pretty good, I'm happy with it. 😀
Hello Club supporters! Britt here--I modeled this little guy with the thought; "a cute creature to keep on your desk and hold things." The design tests morphed into this little robot named Widget! It can hold items like pencils and business cards. The head and body can rotate and the ears and arms are poseable.
If you're interested, I can design different arms or attachments to make this little dude modular. I can even share the base shape, if you'd like to remix your own parts. Let me know!
@TubbaButta_835681 Wow good catch. That piece somehow vanished from my 3D model, so it was never exported. I restored the piece and uploaded here. It's called RearSteeringPins.stl.
Fun project, and a well enough thought out design. The video was alright for following, but a written set of instructions would’ve been appreciated. Some effort is needed to achieve decent floating, I ended up using around 3x the amount of recommended weight and it still has a tendency to tip. I’m assuming this is in large part due to differences in print settings - there is no mention of perimeter count or infill percentage that the designer used to achieve floatation with 25g of added mass. Infill percentage modifiers could probably be implemented to remove this need.
I would recommend anyone printing this is to add considerably more mass to start, as it’s inconvenient to have to partially disassemble the boat multiple times to add more weight. A compartment for adding the necessary mass could have easily been designed in a way to be accessible without disassembly.
The crane was a good idea, but is a bit fiddly and fragile in execution.
Ultimately, I think the designer(s) were on to something here, but perhaps a few more design iterations and slight modifications before posting it would have really set this model apart.
All in all, glad I printed it, my son enjoys it. So no regrets, just wanted to tip off anyone who plans on printing this. Thanks for sharing!
I increased the size a bit, to match the on screen prop and added holes for 10mm magnets. Spray painted for a nice finish. And it fits perfectly on my uniform!
Printed at 100% on Prusa MK4, just barely fits Z-Axis at 100%, MK3S does not have clearance for 100%, but you can scale down to 97%.

210C First layer, 205C subsequent layers.
.10 FAST DETAIL Print settings. Input shaping turned on.
15% infill
Buildplate 60C
Total Print Time: 1d 5hr 6m 9s 606g filament used.
Comments - Been a fan of Punished Props for years, and a Skyrim fan obviously, too. Was super happy to discover this mask fit the MK4 buildplate without having to scale.
Filament produced very little oozing, but did have a couple of spots on the final print that will need to be cleaned up. Overall, very clean print.
Filament was NOT consistent with it's color spread, literally changing it's gold to copper ratio within the same spool, Due to this, the mask will likely be primed and painted.. that said, I don't HATE the way the color shift pattern happened.. so we'll see.
VERY happy with this result, especially considering I'd not put my MK4 through a full z-axis print, yet.. successfully passed :) (edited)
