Being a huge WoW fan, Bolvar’s Hammer is a weapon I instantly fell in love with and just HAD to build. It lights up, can switch between different color modes, has a motion sensor build in and even creates smoke. I used 451 LEDs in total, it weights 2.3 kg and took me and my husband around 150 hours to build. It’s a really cool project and I really hope you like the tutorial video!

  1. Me, at start of video: Glad I found this again, I want to make Ashton's hammer from the new Critical Role campaign and this has given ideas.

    Me, at end of video: I'm exhausted just watching this but IDEAS.

  7. Okay, 2 days ago I printed out my first pepakura model, built it and coated it with resin. So hyped – it's getting real!

    Then I watched this video, wondering how to get texture/painting, how they do it.

    Holy moly, this is INSANE. Beyond amazing. Thanks for sharing!
    P.S. Now I know why I tutored Arduino at University haha some fancy led cosplay incoming
