Mjölnir - Thor's hammer

<h1>Mjölnir</h1>
Hi guys, I’m taking part in Fab Academy (www.fabacademy.org) and as part of 3D printing week, I have created Thor’s hammer in Blender.
I would love it, if any of you get chance to 3D print him and see how it goes.
The print imports as a very small object but just increase the height and you should get a good size.
I look forward to hearing from you

Ill print it, but my crit before print:

Too low poly for my taste, bed of hammer could use atleast 1 subsurf lvl, handle of hammer least 2. Hammer and bed are seperate meshes, that might be problem with Cura. Blender failed with boolean those properly, so u should take it to meshmixer, seperate shells there and boolean join them.

Anyway, ill print it rather small, biggest diameter is 5cm(hight)

Thanks for the comments, I’m very new to blender. Could you explain what you mean by at least 1 sub surf lvl and handle with 2?

I appreciate it

Umm, on right side of blender is properties bar, when u have your object selected and you select wrenc like icon u end in modifier selection, there is Subdivision Surface modifier. Every lvl split every edge and give more round shape, ie cube becomes hex…. But u dont want bottom to change form so u should extrude it once, but not in any direction… hard to explain…

 

Heres image what it does:

despite being a newbie to Blender (and meshes), I quite like that.

 

Thanks for printing it and giving me feedback, it really helps. I’m going to look into create an object with more detail
