Fantasic work! these things just get better! Looks like you did a lot of sanding to get it print line free.

Indeed, this is a kinda step-by-step

and thanks again for your fantastic work!

That's probably the best paint job I've seen on a 3D printed saber. Just nuts.

Good work!

Very awesome work in this thread!

I recently got one of these in for paint, here is what I ended up doing. I went with a little less weathering, and more for the sharp metal tones. I actually went for my old Roman Saber as reference.

I think if I do another I'd love to do the more beat up weathered look.



Man was was it a fun one! Beyond thankful for Imperial Surface Technologies paints.. couldnt do it without it!

That paint job is wicked!

Hi all,

I purchased an Obi 3D saber off Etsy. Here's my take all painted up...

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Started working on printing this over the weekend. Got the grenade, pommel, and neck/pinwheel printed up beautifully. Printed using concentric lines and there's some thin spots at the print ceilings, but a small layer of wood glue will keep it all together. It's really beautiful to watch these print, very elegantly modeled.
