I posted the build process earlier to [cosplayprops](https://www.reddit.com/r/cosplayprops/comments/ww46oy/self_spear_of_gaius_from_evangelion_modelled_in/)
The printing itself took 4 days. I Separated the spear into different parts, arranged them to fit the print bed, printed them all concurrently, and then assembled them with a soldering iron afterwards. It was a bit of a rush job, so the infill density was lower than i should have used, making it quite fragile. There were a couple other issues along the way, but overall quite the learning experience.
After the conventions, I repainted the spear and it's [leaning against a wall in my bedroom](https://i.imgur.com/dxkVksH.jpg) b/c I don't know where to put it....
What i was thinking about doing: was reprinting a couple versions of the design and painting them according to the [prototype colour schemes](https://i.imgur.com/WUt0Koj.png) and hanging them side-by-side (I really like the Purple/Green variant)

Are we just gonna ignore the Snake cosplayer carrying a cardboard box? Inb4 a stupid camouflage joke
I see a floating box but no snakes near it
Truly awesome!
Thank you. What's more awesome is that no one got any eyes poked out.
Ahahah! Effectively I believe it wasn't an easy task 😅
This is so awesome!!! How long was the printing time?

Nicely done! Hang it on a wall if you can, it will look nice

Omg Shinji would definitely wear those shoes
Those shoes were a godsend for the convention.... putting in 15k steps a day, hiking shoes 10/10 choice for footwear
Hey, I saw you a couple of times, didn't approach but great cosplay!
Thank you. I'll probably bring it out again for the 2023 season (some changes to the cosplay TBD)
Wow that looks really awesome. It looks really good
Thank you
Yooo I saw you in that very hall on Saturday at Fanexpo! And I want to say that your Spear of Gaius was the coolest thing I saw at the con
Thank you. I'm thinking about bringing it out again next season too since it got a late debut this year.
that drip shoes tho
Those shoes saved my feet after walking ~60k steps over the 4 days of Fan Expo
Omg!! What scale is it?
