I don’t know what to write here or even where to begin. So let me just start with this video which I believe says it all..
Just so it’s clear I previously had no issue originally with BF using my designed parts (old and inaccurate at that). In fact there was a point in time I was an open book for him while he was creating his dl-44 parts. But that was a long time ago and this now isn’t right.
Let me be clear about what I'm saying.
These parts and the one specifically featured in this video were originally created by myself and more importantly they have not been altered what so ever since. Nothing has been changed and they are not like the Master Replica in detail either. Similar yes but I’ve never owned the Han MR. I’ve only ever seen pictures. I do however remember ever detail and why I created them as they are though. I was still figuring out 3d printing tolerances and wasn’t sure how much detail could be captured. It was still a brand new adventure for me. YET someone else is now blatantly taking full credit for their creation. It’s also these same inaccuracies I added that ultimately show the truth.
It’s not by mistake or oversight either on his part. It’s done deliberately. I know this because I respectfully reached out back in Dec 2020 (7 months before this YouTube video was originally posted) when I noticed he was still selling them.
At the time I simply was asking for acknowledgment if he was going to continue to use them. Not only did he dismiss me (rudely I might add) but as you see he goes on to claim that he actually made them himself. Saying he copied the MR. Clearly he has never noticed these said discrepancies in the design. After I saw this video I was very upset and reached out right away.
This time not asking him for credit but for him NOT to sell any 1:1 part I designed that he uses that he hasn’t changed. As much as I wanted to out him at the time I sat patiently to see if he would do the right thing. I thought he did but on March 8th 2022 I went on eBay searching dl-44’s and stumbled across his listing which lead me back to his Blaster Factory page.
BF is very open about using a scanner to do most of his work. If he scanned the MR for this greeblie then why does it look exactly like my old inaccurate one? Why does it not have 7 fins like the MR? And more importantly why is he lying when he knows he didn’t create them..
Now the listings. As of todays post (3/11/22) they are all still active fyi..

I’ll leave you with one of the last reply’s I received from him. Almost 9 months ago as of today..
Clearly he hasn’t and clearly he doesn’t care. So since he continues to sell and take credit for parts he did not create this is simply to set the record straight.
Believe me when I say I don’t want any BS or drama from this. Its one of the main reasons I’ve put off saying anything at all or why I even hesitant to hit “post thread” even now to make this public. But if I don’t say anything clearly he won’t either..
God Speed.
