Spoilers from the Captain America: Civil War trailer, so stop reading if you’re a weirdo who doesn’t want to get spoiled about a trailer. Weirdo.
And if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, congratulations on waking up from that coma, you’ve missed a lot of awesome stuff since you’ve been under. The trailer was, I want to say full of fan servicing, but that makes it sound like a bad thing. Maybe fan servicing goodness? Fan pleasuring? Oh nah, that sounds gross. Look, I’m just saying that Hawkeye shoots Ant Man into battle on an arrow you guys, and if you haven’t waited your whole lives to see that, then congratulations on the healthy social life and successful career. But for some of us, that’s all we have, so don’t take it from us!
His mask eyes squint you guys! They squint!
Anyways, in honor of Marvel releasing such a great trailer here are Ten 3D Printable Things – Captain America: Civil War edition!
CAPTAIN AMERICA HELMET
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
CAPTAIN AMERICA HELMET WINGS
Found on: Pinshape
Cost: Free
Ever since we first met Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger there has been a bit of a controversy in the Kingdom of Nerd Pedantry. You see, in the comics Cap has a set of three-dimensional protruding wings on his helmet. Yes, that sounds like a terrible idea, but it’s comics dammit, dressing up in a costume to fight crime is a terrible idea but that’s what we like about it. So if you’re a purist, then here is a simple set of wings that can easily be attached to your helmet so you can proudly show off your nerd authenticity cred.
FULL SIZED CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
You didn’t think that I would make this list without a Captain America shield did you? Of course not, and this is one of the coolest 3D printed shield models that I found. This project is going to be a lot more involved that the helmet, sorry, but boy is the finished project worth it.
WINTER SOLDIER REPLICA KNIFE
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
Now, one of the sources of drama for the upcoming movie involves Captain America’s bromantic love interest, Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier causing trouble somehow. When last we saw him he was a brainwashed assassin for Hydra, but he doesn’t do that anymore. Now he just looks confused and remembers what shoes Steve wore back in the 1940s.
LIGHT UP IRON MAN ARC REACTOR
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
Of course what is a civil war without an opposing force that is causing the rift? In the movie, it’s Cap’s frenemy, the motor-mouthed genius, philanthropist and billionaire Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Tony has always had a thing for Steve in a super, macho bro way, just like his father. But sadly, there is always a very thin line between totally like and really dislike but still sort of like, and it looks like it’s going to be a thumbs down from Iron Man. All because Cap’s ex just keeps messing with their lives.
I just realized that I haven’t written anything about this 3D printing project yet. Yadda yadda yadda light up Arc Reactor prop that is really cool and can be used for cosplay or just as a night light.
HAWKEYE ARROWHEADS
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
What good is a guy who shoots arrows on a team with a super soldier, a really smart dude in a metal suit that doubles as a tank, a god of thunder, a Hulk and a lady who can actually move while wearing a skin tight catsuit? No one knows, but we all love poor Hawkeye anyways. And it looks like the Steve and Tony ship isn’t the only bromance being interrupted by this superhero feud. Poor Hawkeye will be facing off against his best bro, the Black Widow, and let’s be honest she’s totally going to kick his behind. But, he’s going to shoot Ant Man on an arrow, so that’s rad. Okay, you can stay an Avenger, Hawkeye.
And here is an awesome set of 3D printed arrowheads that can be used for cosplay or just as cool props to hang around your house. It should go without saying that these are plastic, so please don’t carry them into battle, that wouldn’t go well for you.
MINIATURE CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
CAPTAIN AMERICA BOOKEND
Found on: MyMiniFactory
Cost: Free
I certainly hope that you read, because if you don’t then i’m not really sure why I’m writing all of these terrible jokes for you. But if you do, then I’m going to assume that you have books, and sometimes books have this problem of falling over on a bookshelf. Some genius invented this amazing gadget to solve the problem and is calling it a bookend. And for some reason the very first time that they made one it was Captain America-themed. Weird. Oh, and they also made one with Thor’s hammer.
CAPTAIN AMERICA & SPIDER-MAN KEY CHAINS
Found on: Thingiverse
Cost: Free
You may have heard by now, spoiler space, that a certain web-headed wall crawler is going to be making an appearance in Civil War. Yes, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will be jumping into the fray at some point, which seems super awkward. Kind of like making a comment on a friend of a friend’s Facebook wall by mistake because you thought it was your friend’s wall because stupid Facebook keeps showing you your friends’ friends racist crap. And then you end up in the middle of a big flame war, but you can’t step away because man is your friend’s friend a jerkface, and you have to get the last word in and oh-no-he-di’int, he just insulted your mother and eventually you just start posting sarcastic gifs. I kind of feel like that’s what Spider-Man is going to end up feeling like at the end of Civil War.
Anyways, here is a cool Spider-Man head keychain, with a matching Captain America keychain because come on, we all know that Spidey is eventually going to start hanging with Cap. (There are a bunch of other superhero keychains available too!)
IRON MAN TOILET PAPER ROLL HOLDER
Found on: MyMiniFactory
Cost: Free
Do I really need to say anything about why this is awesome?
Okay, there you go, the ten coolest Captain America and Friends 3D printable things!
As always, if you liked this list of models and decide to 3D print one or two yourself, I would love to see the final results. Just drop me one of those tweet things @SJGrunewald or email me!
And in case you’re just getting up from that coma and you have no idea what the internet is*, here is the new trailer for Captain America: Civil War:
*okay, that joke doesn’t make sense, if you didn’t know what the internet was then you probably wouldn’t be reading this. Unless a friend or a nurse printed it off for you to read, but it would be weird if they printed an article about 3D printable things for you to read because if you don’t know what the internet is then you certainly don’t know what a 3D printer is. I’ve made a mess of this entire joke haven’t I? Oh well, deadline, I’m leaving it in.
