Skyrim Fan Creates Dwarven War Axe With 3D Printer

A Skyrim player 3D prints a Dwarven Axe, adding to their growing collection of weapons from the game, including a full set of glass gear.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has a lot of outstanding features. There's the character creator that allows players to become anything from a typical human Imperial to a magic-wielding High Elf to a cat-like Khajit. There's also the builds players choose in Skyrim, which can have some turning to wizardry to blast their foes apart, while others simply charge in with a big weapon and heavy armor. Most, though, end up thinking they'll choose a new way to play but end up slinking to the back of a cave and sniping their enemies with Skyrim's stealth archer build.

Whatever way a player chooses to take on Skyrim, usually they'll need weapons in order to do it. Skyrim is known for having a vast array of equipment, from the intimidating Daedric gear to the more impractical weapons like the fork or the Wabbajack that feel more like jokes than anything else. However, in the range of weapons a player can equip themselves with, there are plenty of impressive tools, and one Skyrim player has taken to making some of them in real-life using a 3D printer.

Reddit user 3DPrintOrlando has so far created a full set of glass weapons from Skyrim, as well as some weapons from other IPs like the BFG900 from DOOM: Annihilation. Now, they have swapped the green crystal aesthetic of Skyrim's glass weapons for the brass look of the game's Dwarven gear. Specifically, they've created a realistic-looking Dwarven war axe. Shown off in the sunlight, the axe shines and appears to reflect the sun's rays, making the 3D printed weapon look even more like it was crafted from metal.

Skyrim fans were quick to praise 3DPrintOrlando's work. One fan said that they thought the video where 3DPrintOrlando shows off the axe was an Unreal Engine 5 demo, while another said that the real-life axe looks much better than its in-game counterpart. The top comment on the Reddit post made reference to Calcelmo, an NPC in Skyrim that will demand the player comes to meet him once they have acquired a piece of Dwarven gear.

With Skyrim players now able to see a shiny new rendition of the Dwarven axe from the game, some may reconsider their stance on the best-looking Skyrim weapon. Fans of the RPG debated that topic recently, with the rankings claiming that the glass weapons had the best fantasy aesthetic, with Daedric, Dragonbone, and Elven gear being identified as "looking cool."

Minecraft Dungeons Arcade Cabinet Revealed

Mojang Studios and Microsoft have revealed a brand-new way to play Minecraft Dungeons: on an arcade cabinet! Minecraft Dungeons Arcade is an all-new experience that allows players to engage in four-player co-op. The cabinets are currently being distributed for testing to select arcades throughout North America. The number of cabinets is said to be limited at this time, but more will be rolled out throughout the year. In an announcement post, Minecraft.net claims that the cabinets will be tested in arcades that are following local health guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic.

At this time, there has been no further information revealed about where fans can expect to find the cabinets. An image of the arcade cabinet can be found below. Minecraft Dungeons Arcade will apparently offer gameplay similar to the console and PC version, but players should expect a true arcade experience. The cabinet is being created by Play Mechanix, best known for its work on the Big Buck Hunter franchise. In the Minecraft.net post, Play Mechanix creative director Will Carlin discussed the collaboration, and its approach to the world of Minecraft Dungeons. “If you take a step back, you can see the similarities between the two, but when you take a step into [a consumer] game, it’s like a waltz,” said Carlin. “An arcade game on the other hand is some kind of super break-dancing speed experience – it’s about intensity of the moment, and surviving as long as possible – an intense burst of fun!” For fans of Minecraft Dungeons, it seems that the arcade version of the game just might be worth seeking out! Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell how common Minecraft Dungeons cabinets will be, as of this writing. The Minecraft.net post makes it clear that this is a testing phase, so it could be a while before the cabinets become a truly common sight. Still, for fans of the current version of the game, Minecraft Dungeons Arcade seems like a very exciting new addition for the series! 0comments Minecraft Dungeons is set currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
