I 3D Printed Isobel’s Spear from Baldur’s Gate 3

Jan 24, 2025 11:42 PM

Whelp I’ve become obsessed with Baldur’s Gate 3 which means that my next cosplay is Isobel Thorm! Reference pic for the spear below.

The spear head was printed on a Bambu Lab A1 with eSun PLA, STL by Ultima Props on Cults 3D. The staff part is a pine dowel from Home Depot (it's a little warped unfortunately), and l "engraved" the designs using my rotary tool. The 3D printed pieces were connected with a 1/4" threaded rod which runs about a foot down into the wooden dowel, so it’s fairly sturdy. Overall height is about 72"!

For those who might be curious of the costs in materials. Sales tax is averaged at 8% since I shop at different stores in different counties (thus the fluctuation). It took about 12 hours of work (not counting print time).

So, is the dowel 72" long, or is the finished spear 72" long?

Oop sorry if that was unclear - finished spear is 72” long! Alas I am not over 6 feet tall haha

This would fit right in with Dark Souls as well.

Stuff like this is why I wish I could afford a 3D printer. I always loved making props, but materials like rigid plastic and resin are super expensive here. The spools end up being much cheaper. But the printer is a big upfront cost.

this kinda stuff makes me want to buy a 3D printer and make a bunch of props

This looks great, such a good copy of the in-game item. If you don't mind some advice, I would recommend a cap or cover for the bottom end - it helps protect the end of the dowel from scuffs or splitting from setting it down or leaning on it. You can use the chair-leg protectors that glue or screw in and are discrete!

This is SO smart!! Thank you for weighing in I am absolutely going to do this!

As RaspK points out, the butt/pommel of a spear was usually shod with metal (iron, copper, etc) to protect it, and additionally so that the blunt end could be used to attack. Same is true for swords: the pommel is usually reinforced with metal, and many sword-fighting schools have attacks that are done by thrusting the handle at your opponent.

Also also, you could end someone rightly by unscrewing the pommel and throwing it at them

Just pray Tav doesn’t show up. Then the fight with that angel guy won’t happen.

And if Tav does show up then I’m ready to immediately run into their cloud of daggers (I swear Isobel was programmed to do that in that fight, she had a death wish)

I think about this meme more than is probably healthy. This one and “my dad has daughter issues”

In-credible. At this point, you should probably have some sort of fantasy weapon rack if you don't already. Heck, if you keep going you could probably fill a whole armory!

That’s what I’m saying!! Gotta start building out my armory, a battle axe would be so cool…

Ahh, that *would* be awesome! That one's kinda hard, though... All the axe users I can think of are either dudes or anime girls.

Ooh! I've got it! You could be the Dragonborn and use Wuuthrad!
