Overview
In this project, we're 3D printing Link's Hylian Shield from The Legend of Zelda. This is over 450mm
long and prints in just 2 parts. Now you can build the shield to go along with Link's
wooden sword (http://adafru.it/flO).

Parts, Tool & Supplies
If you don't have access to a 3D printer, you can send the files to a service or check with your local
hackerspace/library.

3D Printing
3D Printed Parts
All you need are these 2 parts:
ShieldTop.stl
ShieldBtm.stl
These parts were optimized to print on a Type A Machine series 1. Mimimum build volume is
305mm cubed. These parts can however be separated by modifying the CAD files.

Slicer Settings
You can use the settings below as a reference. The parts are oriented in the center of the bed and
ready to print "as is".
Custom support material is required for the handle overhangs.

Removing support material
The support material is easily removabile by hand. You'll want to smooth out the handle using sand
paper or a filing tool. Use flush cutter to remove any excess material from the edges with over hang.

Modify Design
The parts were modeled in Autodesk 123D Design and available to modify. The file includes the
original solids and sketches.
Materials
These parts have been printed in PLA but should print without any problems in other materials like
bamboo and metal filaments.
Materials that require a heated bed, will require an enclosure to prevent the large parts from
wrapping.

Assembly
Wooden Skinny Sticks
We'll use 5 3/4 x 1/4in. wooden sticks to hold both parts together. These sticks will be inserted in the
slots located on the bottom of the parts.
Page 8 of 21
Cleaning Slots
There might be loose bits of plastic blocking the slots, use a pair of cutters to remove any excess
material. You can carefully insert a stick into the slots to loosen up the tolerances if you find it too
tight.
Don't use too much force when insert the sticks, they could break and get stuck inside the
slots!
Measure Wooden Sticks
Carefully insert each stick into the slots and measure the depth with a pencil or marker. Your
tolerances will differ depending on print settings, so it's a good idea to measure each slot for
changes. With the sticks marked, cut them down to size using cutters.
Page 9 of 21
Insert Wooden Sticks
You only need use sticks for every other slot. The extra slots are included in the design just incase
you break a stick inside one of the slots.

Join parts
Line up the second half of the shield. Insert the sticks into the slots and push the two peices
together, one side at a time.
Close Seams
The parts tend to warp when printing, so you'll need to close up the gaps in between the two pieces.
Use a material, such as air-dry-clay, Sugru or hand-moldable plastic to fill in the seams.
Page 11 of 21
Filling gaps
Use filler material to close open areas in the surface of the parts. Press the material into the gaps
to shape it into small flat pieces and work them into the seams.
Page 12 of 21
Remove excess filler
Use a spatula or a flat piece of plastic to remove excess filler from the edges of the seams.
Drying
This air-dry-clay™ requires 48 hours to fully dry. Keep in a warm dry area to help speed up
curing time.

Masking details
To add color to the outer frame, we'll use masking tape to cover the inner artwork. Use a hobby
knife to cut the masking tape to cover the details with curves.
Page 14 of 21
Applying Masking tape
Use large pieces for large surfaces, don't worry about getting the details in the center. Cover up
most of the inner details with multiple layers of tape.
Metallic colors
Chrome and blue metallic spray paint gives these parts a car paint job finish. The gray pigment in
the PLA acts as a primer, so you can apply chrome spray paint without any primer.
Page 15 of 21
Spray Painting
Apply at least two coats of spray paint to the outer details, making sure to get all the edges.
Spray paint in a well ventilated area. Use a protective respirator mask to avoid breathing in
any messy chemicals.
Page 16 of 21
Remove masking tape
Let the parts dry for an hour before removing the masking tape. You can use tweezers to
help remove tape from the details.

Masking Tape Pt II
To start the next color, apply masking tape over the outer frame. The Hylian Crest and the Tri-force
graphics will be printed in Ninjaflex, so we didn't need to mask these out.
Page 18 of 21
Spray Paint Pt II
Use the blue metallic spray paint for the inner details.
Outer Shield Details
After another hour of drying, you can remove the masking tape revealing the final paint job.
Page 19 of 21
Attach Final Details
To make the Hylian Crest and the Tri-force stand out, you can paint these on or use Ninjaflex
filament to print these details in different colors. You can tack or glue the details on.
So there you have it, now you can build the shield to go along with Link's
