Lifesize Warhammer 40K Chainaxe model that I made, Total size is 84cm long and 35cm wide at the head. These files are designed for a larger printer so to print them all in one piece you will need a printer with at least 300x300x300 build volume. I have cut the bigger files up though for smaller printers. full list of parts to print for printer sizes at the bottom of description. If you have a large printer you can print all the parts on one bed.
The files are all orientated how I printed them and I have also included my Cura files with support settings. Although bear in mind these may not work with a different printer, I use a Neptune 3 max. I printed this on a 0.2mm layer height with 10% infill. For the handle of mine I used 28mmx 340mm dowel for strength however I have included a 3D printed handle if you would rather, the 3d printed handle has a hole for an 8mm support rod to run through.
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!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
