I have just started my journey to become a ROTS Royal Guard. Found a nice-looking pike on Thingiverse, so my plan is to 3D print it. But how far I should go as far as finish goes? Will rattlecan metallic paint be acceptable?

Hey!

That will depend on your GML, but it's a pretty common method as long as you can get it to look good. I know some people use ski poles as the main shaft for the pike, and then just have to worry about the grip and tip.

I made my pike out of a short pool cue and plumbing parts! Silver rattle can should be fine, just make sure the tip matches the CRL

Awesome. Got the pommel printed allready and handle is printing now. Emitter will print today.

My original one (RotJ) was a modified version of the plastic toy I got off Amazon. The pommel and shaft were decent, but I made a new topper (3D model and printed) and designed it to come apart for traveling. I painted the main shaft with a chrome rattle can (ended up doing a few coats for better coverage).

That looks great! Got pommel & handle printed, more parts on the way.

I am also thinking about 3-D printing mine as well.
I've seen a few on thingyverse but did you find a specific one that worked best?
How did it turn out?

Can I see a picture of it?

Thanks

There you go

Beautiful thank you!

I should say tho that the pike wasn't the first thing that caught my eye lol....It was the Freddie glove hahaha

My best friend and I got to meet Robert Englund a couple years ago and got out pic taken with him wearing the glove.
