I'm about 80% done so far. The plan is to make this 3d printable in snap-together pieces like I did with the scout trooper blaster.

great work. what software are you using? It's a shame to put in all that effort and still have that paneling on your curved faces.

Great looking model, looking forward to seeing updates :)

print-in-place trigger mechanism! Just add elastic band:

Also, I've acquired some genuine dewback hide.

Sweet trigger!! I used Cinema 4D to do the modeling.... The blockyness was done on purpose. I'm in the UK so wanted to make sure it could not be mistaken for a real firearm. It looks fine from a distance when painted black and weathered but is obviously NOT real up close. That's also the reason It doesn't have a trigger, we have to be super careful at the moment.

Fantastic, I was hoping someone would model up that blaster! I like how they adapted the Jabba's palace blaster for the show.

Very nice. Any plans to do more Rebels items like Hera's Blaster, Sabine's paint sprayer, etc...?
 
Re: 3D printable DL-18 Kanan's blaster from Star Wars Rebels

Ya I can do them. I don't see the side rockets on Kanan's so I won't b including it in the main model. It's going to be 9 or 10 pieces total. I'm pretty much done. I've printed the scope and the handle so far. A bunch of the small parts are printing now. I'll finish the main block before i go to bed and get the print tarted overnight. It's the longest one by far

Here's the handle, trigger printed-in-place

I immediately went to the JY to look for the FS thread.:cry

I have no access to a printer & don't drive, so if you decide to sell actual kits, I'm ready to pay.:thumbsup



(within reason, of course;))

Don't jump the gun... I'm not done yet!

I made a few minor tweaks, and designed in spacing for electronics. I just did a rough blockout for a 9v battery, and made a tube that connects the internal chamber up through the barrel. the trigger swings just the right distance to tap a microswitch mounted directly over the cavity where the trigger sits. I didn't model any mounts or anything for it yet, nor did I design a circuit. For a simple LED they're pretty simple though. The next step is paint, and I'll need to cut out the leather grips and see how they look when attached.

FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what you work into the final version. I follow you on Thingaverse, are you going to be uploading the print files? I actually just made my armor patterns for Kanan's armor.
 
Re: 3D printable DL-18 Kanan's blaster from Star Wars Rebels

thanks. are the armor patterns for 3d printing? or.. how are you making them?
