Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire - Light&Sound
Print Profile(2)
Bill of Materials
Description
Xal'atath has a mind of her own. Do not heed her maddening whispers. Do not believe her lies. Use her, if you must—but never forget: the darkness within this dagger is not your ally.
Once sealed within this blade by the combined power of the four Old Gods, she served as the artifact weapon of priests during the Legion expansion. Later, she took mortal form, returned from the Void, and once again became a weaver of fate in The War Within.
This model faithfully recreates the iconic appearance of Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire. Enhanced with a motion-activated sound and light props kit, the weapon not only glows with eerie brilliance, but also whispers her beguiling lines from the game itself.
You think you're just printing and collecting a weapon? No—this is destiny binding you to her.
I realize it may be... disconcerting to converse with a weapon. Be at ease. I merely wish to see you reach your full potential…

2. Assembly
Unlike traditional greatswords or the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Blade of the Black Empire is a uniquely shaped dagger—with no long shaft or broad blade to house internal components. This makes not only the design a challenge, but also the installation process, which demands extra care and patience.
⚠️ When organizing the wires, handle them gently—do not yank or pull forcefully.
Safety Warning
- After assembly, it is recommended to file down any sharp spike areas.
- Keep the completed model out of reach of children and pets.
- This is a sharp, alien-edged weapon—do not swing it recklessly. Stay away from the blade. Listen to the whispers.
A quick reminder: good bed adhesion is essential for a successful print.
Make sure your material and temperature settings are correct, and clean the build plate regularly.
Bambu Lab Liquid Glue for Build Plate is a great way to ensure reliable results.

My design philosophy is simplicity and ease of printing. Every model has been test-printed at least twice, and all photos are of the actual printed results. If you encounter any issues, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message anytime. If you like the model, a bit of encouragement would mean a lot—thank you!😽😽😽
