I agree. I did 1.5 because it was convenient and proportionally, it's perfect for my hands, but clearly too big for Rey's hands.

The barrel on my kit is just under 1.2 (30mm), with a body width of 32mm.

I just finished my NN-14. It's not very accurate, but that's because it only cost me €13 to make. It's made out of Pvc, wood and aluminum tape.

With regard to the centre section I saw this the other day and immediately thought it would be a good base for Rey's Blaster. What does everyone else think? The plates at either end look spot on and space inside for electronics and it would be easy to bolt the handle and barrel sections on. I'm definitely getting one or one like it for my cheap build I'm just not sure if it's the right size...

That looks pretty darn good! You could even mill or cut it down to the right size if it's too long. Cool that they've posted the dimensions as well.

No. Just, no. That's actually so bad it's kind of adorable

Yeah, I was looking forward to modding the Rey nerf weapon...but no. I won't be making that attempt now. Just horrible.

I took this pic last weekend at Hollywood Studios. I agree the grips look backwards, especially next to my toy Mauser from the 70's. The top of the grip on that gun is horizontal. It looks like the action figure Rey gun above and the model in California are the same,as this model so the real prop must be that way.

Here is the same pic without the Instagram filter and my 3-D print.

Just finished my Rey Blaster. It is 3d printed on my Robo3d R1. I started with what I thought were the best parts of each of Lilykill and Greggo's models (available on thingiverse.com). Mixed, Matched, Remixed, and added some parts of my own. The main frame is three parts with a working trigger. I used 6-32 and 8-32 button head tamper proof torx machine screws as well as a couple of 3mm cap screws. I still think that it is a little too big and I really want to remodel the grips to be more broomhandle accurate. Let me know what you think. Here are a couple of dimension:
1. Diameter of Barrel - 33mm
2. Total Length - 310mm
3. Frame Width - 13mm (Center 7m, each side 3mm)
4. Body Width - 35mm
1. Diameter of Barrel - 33mm
2. Total Length - 310mm
3. Frame Width - 13mm (Center 7m, each side 3mm)
4. Body Width - 35mm
So, I downloaded both models (Lilykill and Greggo) from thingiverse. Both models are very well done in my opinion and a super big thanks goes out to both of them for sharing!
I started by trying to scale both models to roughly the same size based on my real broomhandle. I ended up scaling the Lilykill by 126.32% and Greggo by 2908.4% (The greggo model was super small for some reason). I think my scaling was still a tad big.
Here is a list of my parts:
Inner Barrel - Lilykill (Made the barrel hollow)
Barrel Shroud - Lilykill (Added a hole for Barrel Setscrews)
Lower Barrel - Greggo (Cut Lower Barrel off of existing front body plate, then added an extension for mounting)
Barrel End Body Plate - Greggo (Flatten exterior surface and added pass through holes for Upper and Lower Barrels)
Top Body Section - Greggo (Cut into two sections to avoid excess supports, inserted a key to reattach, added female key holes for upper barrel and interior frame)
Lower Body Section - Greggo (Added female key holes for lower barrel and interior frame)
Body Side Plates - Greggo (Removed black square section and added an inset area from the back so I could add a good flat piece of plastic)
Frame End Body Plate - Greggo (Added pass through for interior frame)
Main Frame - Greggo (Cut Frame into three parts, 2 Exterior and 1 interior)
Interior Frame (Extended a male key to connect frame to body sections, built a spring loaded sliding trigger, created a void for possible battery compartment under grip)
Exterior Frame (Created a void for possible battery compartment under grip)
Grips - Greggo
Safety Switch - Greggo (I cut the Knurled section off Greggo's model,then modeled the rest)
I started working on Model 2.0 this afternoon.
1. Reduce Size
2. New Grips more accurate to broomhandle (I liked Lilykill's grips better than Greggo, but she had 12 grooves)
3. Add a key to top barrel section to improve alignment
4. Resize holes for screw sizes.
5. Pivot style trigger for interior frame
Kevin - Love to see and hear how the Stainless PLA does!
Alright, here's my print in Proto Pasta Stainless Steel PLA. Printed on a Taz 5 at .1mm
The main body has been sanded a little to bring out some shine, and all the other pieces are straight from the printer. This stuff looks fantastic right off the bed as far as print lines go. Once I get everything sanded and polished I'll report back on how well it takes to shining.
Denix grips just for the look. I'll be printing the actual grips in some wood filament
You can see a slight shine on the body just from sanding, so I'm hoping steel wool and polishing compound will bring out the rest

That's gorgeous. I just painted my ABS version with Duplicolor chrome but can't get it to take a clearcoat without dulling to gray. Looking forward to your polishing results.
In the meantime, I'm shopping for these advanced filaments. So much win. Well done
