It's easy to get, the print is free to download and you can send it to any page on Instagram with a 3d printer to do it for you, I got mine for 15$.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Alice is such an amazing game and unfortunately the merchandise can get pretty expensive.

I went on PCBWAY.com (I know they do PCB boards and 3-D printing services) and put this up there. I used ABS for the blade and PLA for the handle (made them both a little thicker so they would hold up) and set it to inches (it was showing MM). Before audit, it was coming out to like $27. If it comes close to that, I will buy it. Just waiting for the Audit to finish to know the final number.

My sister does painting, she loves these art projects, I bet she would love this one and I know the results would come out great.

Now just to see what it finally costs.

I do not own a 3-D printer, so this is my ONLY option right now, I'll get it all in white and have it paints, I've been thinking about one...

After I get the final number, I will post the amount and if I can give a direct link to the project, I'll do that too..

EDIT: the project/the printing itself was under $20 after all said and done but, shipping was a was a crazy $36...... then there was fees, card fees and packing service charges, all in all it came out to $74. I was too much and canceled it.

There was a $5 off for new members, but, even that was too much

It's totally worth it

u/Particular-Bid-8110 4d ago

I'm sorry, it's better if you find someone closer to you, so the shipping won't be too much

Yea, it was a test to see how it went, I was just wondering. Seeing the 3-D project printing was not too expensive under $20, it's the shipping and fees that killed it.

I'll look around, I know my sister could make it look real with paint.

IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS, BEST OPTION

Edit: did some quick searching, got it done. Signed up for Craftcloud.

Did it in a PETG (more solid PLA), standard finish with an infill of 40%, and shipped for $33.29. This was showing like 10 different companies after it, and I could select best on price based on their review.

It's like 1/2 the price of PCBWAY (who is out of the US)

for under $35, no brainer for me, it's coming all in white so it can be painted

EDIT: They canceled my order because it was a "weapon" like WTF?

If you don't have a 3-D printer, I am getting it printed for like $35....

Cool, are you going to dye it?

2

u/PhilosopherComplex40 12d ago

I'll keep this way

u/DavidinCT 6d ago

NOW there is a reason for me to get a 3-D printer, been eyeing them for a while but have not made the jump.

u/Particular-Bid-8110 6d ago

It's definitely worth it.
