The Rebellion is Dante’s trademark sword from the Devil May Cry series. Appearing in DMC 2, 3, 4 and the animated series. Though it has the form of a standard claymore, it is a magical blade, given to Dante as a keepsake from his father, the Dark Knight Sparda. It serves as both a physical manifestation of his power, and through its name, meaning ”resistance”, a symbol of his spirit. The blade’s power originally laid dormant, but through contact with Dante’s blood, it was awakened!

Now you too can weild the power of Rebellion and slay creatures and demons, protecting the world from what lies below.

I modelled my interpretation of the sword using a combination of both Rhino and Zbrush, it prints in 15 large pieces and is a total of 1.5 meters long. All of the pieces clip together using pins and dovetails joints. Use glue for extra strength and durability.

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!
