Life Size Goku Power Pole (Nyoibō) - Dragon Ball

🐉 Life Size Goku Power Pole (Nyoibō) - Dragon Ball ☁️

I want to present to you my new model: the legendary Power Pole (Nyoibō) of Goku. This is not just a simple prop, but a life-size replica designed to be the ultimate addition to your Dragon Ball cosplay. It is perfect for cosplay, display, and collecting.

✨ Features

• Extendable: Classic collapsible style (similar to the popular "collapsing" swords found online) but extending from both sides, allowing the Power Pole to extend up to approximately 1.33m.
• 1:1 Scale: I tried my best to replicate the dimensions of the real Power Pole.
• Display Piece: Not just for wearing! Its iconic design makes it perfect as a decoration for your gaming room.
• No AMS Needed: The model is divided into separate parts, so there is no need to use the AMS.
• Sheath Included: Equipped with the classic sheath used by Goku to carry the Power Pole on his back (I also added a hemp rope for anime accuracy).

🔄 Versions

This model consists of 2 main parts: the Powerpole itself and the sheath.

Feel free to print Both, only the PowerPole to play with, or print just the sheath to insert a "homemade" stick if you prefer.

🧵 Recommended Materials

I recommend using PLA+ or PETG for the best aesthetic and structural results:

• Red for the pole.
• Brown/Bamboo Green for the sheath. I used brown (like in the first Dragon Ball series) because I preferred the look , but in the Dragon Ball Daima anime, the sheath is bamboo green.

⚙️ Print Mode

Please use the provided .3mf template. Select the "DESIGNER" print profile: it is already configured with higher infill in specific areas to ensure rigidity, supports where necessary, and hidden seams.

I also increased the printing plate temperature to 70°C to ensure the PLA adheres much more firmly to the build plate.

📐 Orientation and Support

• Plate: The model is divided into 2 plates (3 if you consider the caps).

• Supports: Cylindrical parts are designed to be printed vertically. I recommend using a Brim of at least 5-8mm to ensure that tall and thin pieces do not detach from the plate during printing. 

  NOTE: do not use inner brim on PART C (the one without any threads)

  

  Note 2: You only need supports in the central part with the 2 male threads. Everything is already configured in my print profile.

📏 Dimensions

Power Pole:

• Length (Collapsed): 56 cm
• Total Length (Extended): ~ 1.33 m
• Diameter: 40 mm

Sheath:

• Total Length: 47 cm
• Diameter: 48.4 mm

🔄 Assembly Instructions

Power Pole Assembly:

Once you finish printing, you will have 5 pieces:

• A - 1x Central joint with 2 male threads.
• B - 2x Main pieces with female threads.

• C - 2x Power Pole extensions.

  

I also added a hemp rope like this one:

Procedure:

1. Insert parts C inside parts B.
2. Screw parts B (containing C) onto the central joint A.

Sheath Assembly:

1. Join the 2 parts together.

2. Use a little super glue to ensure they don't come apart.

   Small Tip: Align the seams to create a continuous effect that isn't visually distracting.

Follow the video for clearer instructions:

⚠️ Disclaimer:

I designed the parts with a 0.1mm tolerance, which should work well for all BambuLab printers.

However, I highly recommend CALIBRATING YOUR PRINTER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE PRINT.

If you have already printed the model and the threads do not fit inside each other, I recommend lightly sanding the male threads.

📂 Optional Accessories

I also added 2 caps that might be useful (don't worry, I respected the tolerances so the Power Pole fits into the sheath even with the caps on).

I can't wait to see your photos with the Power Pole and your cosplays! Please share your "makes" in the comments! 📸
