VAMPIRE SLAYING STAKE FOR GO-PRO HARNESS

VAMPIRE SLAYING STAKE FOR GO-PRO HARNESS

Dressing up as a vampire is fine, but as a dead vampire, that's another level Considering this, I have designed this stake and its accessory to be mounted on a Go-Pro chest harness So that it simulates someone having driven it right through their heart

DOWNLOADABLE FILES:

I have uploaded two STLs, one for the stake, and another for its mounting component for the harness

The stake does not have a hole, in case someone wishes to scale it, to better fit their physical build Since the model is designed for someone with a strong build

There is a second stake model, which I haven't printed, much more complex and realistic The download name is “Vampire Slaying Stake B” Like the previous one, the STL does not have a hole and a transparent cylinder of the same measurements must be added to create it If you decide to print it, I would appreciate it if you upload photos of the result

PREPARING THE STL:

To scale the size of the stake, first download it, upload it, for example to THINKERCAD, or another application of your choice Create a cylinder 20 mm in diameter, and 62 mm in height Make the cylinder transparent, and combine it with the stake once you have adjusted its size to the physique of the person who will use it

PRINT PROFILES:

Four profiles are available Two multicolor and two single color, for painting the stake afterwards

Both in the single-color version and the bicolor version, there is an option in PLA and another in PETG, but I personally recommend using PETG, at least for the part that mounts on the harness, as it requires some flexibility

PAINTING:

If you print the stake in a single color, which is the most recommended option, since in two colors it will take about 10 hours to print I recommend using “LA PAJARITA” glass lacquer, in brown It covers the printed filament very well in a single layer, and it has a very reasonable price Furthermore, it does not cover in a monotonous way, like acrylic paint, but rather leaves subtle nuances

This paint can be easily found on shopping websites like Amazon ( https://amzn.eu/d/hDTELmm )

GO-PRO HARNESS:

Although the stake could be printed with an already attached chest plate, I recommend purchasing the harness for several reasons It is ergonomically designed, which will prevent fatigue from wearing it for too long It is adjustable, so you can easily place the stake at the correct point And it also allows you to remove and attach the stake without taking off the harness

It is often found almost new on second-hand sales apps, or on platforms like Aliexpress or Amazon ( https://amzn.eu/d/8X1qq3l )
