Power Ranger Models for 3d-Printing

Donation protected
I am a mechanical engineer that loves props and costumes from various shows and movies.

After having a lot of difficulty getting an engineering job, I've been trying to fill out my solid modeling portfolio and get some traffic and exposure which may help me in my future endeavors.
That portfolio can be found [here] .

The basis of this fundraiser is to allow me to sell the models at a reduced cost per individual, while still being able to allow myself to save up some funds to contribute to future models and projects.

Rather than selling the models that I have been working on outright, I thought it would be more advantageous to myself and the prop community to instead do a fundraiser.
This fundraiser, once certain financial goals are met, will allow me to release the files freely.

This fundraiser is for the release of the digital 3D-Models. Once released, you are free to 3D-Print them on your own terms.

Files will be shared in 3 formats, STL for 3D-Printing, STEP as a neutral solid model, and their native SolidWorks format, for those interested in how I modeled them.

They will also be posted on 3D-Printing websites such as Thingiverse and My Mini Factory for those without access to a 3D Printer.

These are non commercial models, no rights to cast these models/props are included.
Please do not share these works without giving credit to the original author.

Power Coins:
Included in this fundraiser, will be 2 Power Coins:
The White Ranger Tiger Coin, which will be released when a goal of $50 has been reached.
The Green Ranger Dragon Coin, which will be released when a goal of $75 has been reached.
NOTE: Textures are not included on the models, and the backs are left blank.

Power Morpher / Dino Buckler:
Also included will be a "Stunt" edition of the Legacy Power Morpher/Dino Buckler. As most ranger cosplayers know, while the Legacy Morpher looks amazing, trying to wear it with your costume causes your belt to sag and bend, so a lighter alternative was necessary, so I have created a model that should serve that purpose.

There are multiple versions of the morpher:
"Version 1" is simply designed so that once you have finished painting the coin, morpher, and buckle, you glue each of them together for a static prop.
"Version 2" is designed to clasp around a coin in a non-permanent manner, and then it holds the coin in by either magnetically attaching itself to the buckle/buckler behind it or via screws.
An animation of this is shown below:There will be multiple instances of the buckler that sits behind the Morpher itself. The current one above will have the option to have the side slit details or not. There will also be more designs to come in the future.

Both versions of the morpher, as well as the various buckles, will be released once $150 has been raised.

Legacy Dragon Dagger:
Following the video are some renderings of the ever so elegant Dragon Dagger:
This has not been an easy thing to model, but while that is true, I am happy to present the most accurate 3D Model you will be able to find of the Legacy Dragon Dagger, and if you print this one out, you won't have to worry as much about dropping it as you would the real thing that you'd prefer to keep up on your shelf!There will also be multiple versions of the Dragon Dagger for release."Version 1" will be a singular solid piece."Version 2" will be designed as a "model kit" with the thought of manufacturing in mind. It will be designed so that it can be printed in multiple pieces to help you with painting each piece separately.The Legacy Dragon Dagger will be released once $400 has been raised.

NOTE: The green texture on the front end of the model will not be included in either Version 1 or Version 2 of the model.

The Sword of Darkness / The Devil Sword Hellfriede:
By popular demand, this evil sword has been modeled in SolidWorks, based on the physical dimensions of the accessory included with the S.H. Figuarts Green Ranger, and has been scaled up to be used for all your Evil Green Ranger needs!
This thing is just over 47'' long, and is proportionally accurate with the action figure, whose dimesions were scaled up compared to the legendary Jason David Frank. #teamjdf!!!

Like the other models, there will also be multiple variations for Hellfriede (The Sword of Darkness)
First of all, I will be offering two handles, Version 1 will be shown in the images below.
Then there will be 4 different variations for the details, meaning that there will be a total of 8 different options!
For the details, the options are as follows:
a) Flat (like the S.H. Figuarts accessory) (not shown)
b) Recessed - for those interested in making a custom or personalized pattern on their sword
c) What I call the "Swiss Cheese" pattern, which was designed while referencing the classic poster of the sword
d) What I call the "Squiggle" pattern, which was designed based off of a photoshop generated image of the original sword's details.
The Sword of Darkness / The Devil Sword Hellfriede will be released once a goal of $625 has been reached.

Any and all future funds will go towards the modeling of:
• Display Stands for Power Coins
• The 5 Power Weapons!
• The Legacy Blade Blaster
• Thunder Slinger
(compatible w/ the Legacy Blade Blaster)
The original 5 Legacy Power Coins, and
• Griffocalibur (Goldar's Sword)

Hopefully this will go well and encourage other modelers to crowd fund some of their models!
