Here's a few more pics of my DIY door knocker I printed and plated from photogrammetry pics.

Wow, from photo it is impossible to tell the difference between this one and a real one. Beautiful.

 

How did you do the handle: printed in one piece with supports, or in two pieces glued together?

Hi thanks! Yes there are pratically zero layer lines and filled with filler to add weight and give a much better sound when it knocks. I plated it as well for effect and it actually had held up amazingly. 

 

The knocker in the middle was printed seperately and is held in place by a nail through the core. And then dremmelling the ends off and simply bending the knocked over it. The inside of the knocker has two holes for the nail to go into each side.. id take it apart to show you but its easier to do soon after acetoning as the pla is more flexible and now i'd also risk separating the plate if id bend it too much as well as cracking the pla. I have a vid with it moving here...
