A commission to design a 1:1 replica of the famous Lionheart gunblade from Final Fantasy XIV for a wedding.

The 3D model was designed in less than 24 hours, using references from video game trailers. It features a spinning cylinder and numerous internal channels for wooden and steel support rods.

A prototype was printed in biodegradable PLA on a Bambu Lab A1 FDM printer for size verification, before printing the final model in durable ASA on a Bambu Lab X1C, then sanded, primed and painted for the event.
