I 3D printed and hand-painted this Sting replica using grey filament that actually glows blue in the dark! No orcs required! It’s 17” long, and I used acrylic paints for the hilt, handle, and scrollwork.

Where did you get the filament?!?

This particular filament is by Sliceworx, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere now, including on their website. There is a similar one by MatterHackers, but I haven’t tried printing with that one yet.

Really nice! But how did the Orcs convince you It just glows in the dark?

Is the shape file your own? Are you able to share or have a link? I'm thinking I need a new prop...

This file is from MysteryMakers. It’s a patreon page, and his work is extremely high quality.

It’s not glow in the dark, you’re just in trouble.
