So I do this thing that I make 3D keyblades in a modeling program. I've gained a considerable amount of skill and can make them rather well now. So here's the idea:

 

I model keyblades and print them using a 3D printer, then sell them on say Ebay.

 

I would print them in parts, blade and handle separate, or in some cases the blade in 2 parts, for two reasons:

 

one, a home 3D printer wouldn't be big enough to print a whole thing,

 

and two, I was thinking model the handles and blades with a twist-on, twist-off fashion, the handles being the male half and the blades the female. I would try to make the screw parts on as many of the keyblades as possible the same size, so that you could interchange the handles and blades.

 

Imagine the handle from Gullwing with the blade from Hidden Dragon, or the handle of Jungle King with the blade from Circle of Life.

 

What do you guys think of this?

 

Edit: Oh and this wouldn't be happening any time soon, it's not even a for sure thing, just something I thought of.

I'll think about it.

Wait, would they be full sized keyblades?

Yes, fullsize, like u could use for cosplay.

I'd buy parts so long as the first one's a whole with both parts.

i'd have to see images of them whenever they are made. It sounds like a cool idea though.

I probably wouldn't sell the parts separately, I think I would sell each keyblade as a whole.

Ah, right. So what if something happened and we needed a part repaired/replaced?

Well if something happened someone could email me and say they need a new part and they could buy that alone. I don't know if I would put the separate parts on my Ebay page tho, it's just clutter and if you like keyblades, why buy just a part? If you're switching parts you might as well have another blade/handle for the part being switched out anyway.

 

The main idea here is just to figure out if people would be interested in it.

Well, I'm certainly interested.

I'd buy them if you lived next door.

ILL BUY THEM! literally, like sign me up for preorder!

Whoa dont get too excited, its just an idea right now, might not even happen

Thanks for the support tho

It sounds awesome

If they looked like they do in the games then I don't see why not. So long as its not a waste of money then I see no problem

awww....*cries* why would you do that?

Thats like announcing Kingdom Hearts 3 and then taking it back! *sob*

You should always be serious about Kingdom Hearts related topics!

lol but okay, if you DO end up doing that, tell me please!

Well I did say that in my first post

lol well i got excited and forgot!

My dirty, perverted mind filtered out everything except the words "Male" "Female" and "Screw".But seriously, what will you do to connect flat-bladed Keyblades like Oathkeeper and Oblivion?You'd need like a spring-loaded button-lock mechanism or something. Like little nubs on each side that you press in then insert the handle into the blade. Have holes in the base or the blade so that when the nubs reach it the pressure releases them, locking it in place. 

But can a 3D printer even do that?

Well I would do as many interchanging keyblades as I can, ones like those probably wouldn't have the option to interchange them around unless I figured out a way. And a 3D printer can do a lot (there's a guy making a 3D printed Aston Martin and I've seen people make poseable action figures, and there was also that guy that made a working 3D printed gun) but I would need to get springs and put them in myself for that.
