Chopped some things off some models and put them on some other models. Not very creative but I was happy with the result.
Final version got treated with acetone vapor and a little paint followed by clear coat.
NOTE:
The blades are very easy to break. I broke one myself. You should use support all the way around the blade. Depending on your slicer, you should be able to use support inflation/expansion. My strategy was to encase the blades as much as possible in low density supports and then carefully cut the supports with a razor and pluck them away with small needle nose pliers.
Since I printed in ABS, I used acetone to repair the broken blade. Acetone melts the ABS so use a tiny amount and use something to secure the blade in the proper place while it re-hardens. You have to wait a long time to make sure it is fully hardened again, then you can sand the joint. (I think I waited 24 hours)
The acetone vapor bath removed any marks left on the blade so you can't see the break. If you have never done an acetone bath, make sure you read up on them and do a few test runs. You can easily melt your beautiful prints.
