Now that our F-11D blaster build is complete, we are turning our attention towards some of the heroes' weapons from Episode 7.
Master modeler Germain over on the FISD boards has graciously given us permission to print, cast and reproduce his model of Rey's staff from The Force Awakens. Germain has estimated the staff at 1830mm (approximately 6 feet tall), and it is scaled to accept an interior rod, pipe or dowel of 1" diameter like a sleeve.
PRICING
The cost for a kit of raw 3D prints is $150 shipped anywhere within the domestic US. International buyers will need to pay a bit extra depending on your country. The staff pieces are printed in natural color ABS and are only offered as raw prints; we don't have the spare time to really work on them so any clean-up and finishing will need to be done by the buyer. However, we've broken down the staff so that it is printed without support material and at .1mm layer height, so even in an unfinished state the prints are quite clean. Products like Smooth-On XTC can be used to help smooth out the prints if desired.
Here is a pic of what you will receive:
FUTURE PLANS
Once molding/casting has begun we will update this post with more info on the resin kits that will be available in Q12016. Here are the Masters for the eventual, high-quality resin kit:
Here are some shots:

First staff kit, hot off the printbed!
Here it is being modeled by my roommate, who is 5'7". Of course, you could easily make the staff longer/shorter by using different sized dowels/rods for the body.
