Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
I don't know very much about these blasters, only that they're incredibly beautiful when done right. I also noticed that some people go over the grips with the red sharpie to get the orange that they love. It would be nice to not have to do that.

No kidding. I recently saw a Tomenosuke go for nearly $2000. For whatever reason a Coyle was selling for less, even though it's more accurate!

rgriesbeck, what material with the metal looking parts be? Would it be up to us to paint them to look like metal?

Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
I know. Rely wish I would have got one of them when they first come out.

They, like the samaritan, will be ABS plastic. As this is a kit, you'll need to paint and assemble it. There are some great chrome paints out there. The ABS plastic sands and paints really nicely.

I'm aiming for & 150. This gun will not be easy to 3D print. It's going to take a lot of prototyping and will probably be a lot of pieces. I'd say it won't be cheaper than $150. We'll know more as we do more printing

No worries man, don't give strangers your phone number
Thanks!

If anything's going to stop me collecting strictly SW It's one of these.
Interested.

Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
Shapeways has a high detail frosted looking material that requires minimal standing for surface prep. Perhaps this material would be more friendly to any sanding that you may want to do. It doesn't strike me as ABS. It was clear, and slightly sandy colored, but brittle.

Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
Not sure... ABS is tough, same stuff LEGO is made from. I'm planning on doing this with ABS, but also possibly using a clear or translucent PLA for the grips. The grips are one of the things that keep me up at night, that and how we're going to print the barrel...

Sure, I think we're close but sure wouldn't hurt, thanks again

Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
I have seen some people stand on a ladder about 12 feet up and then zoom in with high definition cameras in order to get a proper undistorted view of their work. You may want to consider that close up photography will create perspective distortion and serve as an in accurate reference.
