Burnout is real :D and Cad Bane blaster

A weird way to start the post , right ? :) - but more on that later, i'll talk about the project first :)

So as some of you allready knew i was working on Cad Bane blaster for a while. Now the bad thing is even tho we do have some info about the blaster we dont have many clear images.

So what we do know is the base of the blaster is the Colt 1851 - so i told myself "I'm gonna build this one the way they built it for the show" - or at least try to :D

So what i did was firs...

new month - few words :)

Ok boys and girls, new month

so a few words:

1 - from now on the new months project links will be sent on  5th of every months ( it has come to my attention that patreon is processing pledges for the first few days, and there were cases the links were sent out and some people didnt get htem bcs their pledge was not processed yet, so by the 5th it should all be done and no one should be skipped by accident)

2- boba fett armor - right now there are TONS of people stabbing...

EE-3 final update

Ok guys, here it is, i've made the last update that was requestd, and thats the shoulder mount :)

The old version was a bit too squared, now its more rounded overall and much more closer to provided references

I've also added a split version into 2 parts, that use the same old 8x8 mm pins i use in almost all my designs

PRO TIP: print out bunch of 8x8 pins bcs they are used across all designes so next time you need them you will have them ready ;)

This is it for ...

EE-3 and boba's sidearm added to January 2022 folder

So here it is, the final pieces to complete the Boba Fett armor , the EE-3 and the sidearm

I've done some minor updates to those bcs they were pretty much allready good in my opinion, and i didnt wanna do any major changes for everyone whos allready half way thru with printing :D  

so the minor updates on the sidearm are something that was requestd and thats an aditional "trigger" piece that has the loop closed so you can spin the blaster if you like.

Finally, the project im sure you all have been waiting on , the armor is released :)

First i would like to thank everyone for not abandoning ship while waiting on this one, sorry i only realased 2 models this month, but the second one has over 100 parts, so i guess that counts for something :D

Next month i'll try to catch up much more projects :)

Cortana data chip

New year, new projects, and here's the first one of the month :)

As always i did a bit of a my own spin on this one, it took longer than i woud like to admit, but i think you will like it :D

I always try to come up with new ideas for the builds and projects  or how to improve existing ones, so another one of those "crazy" ideas i had was - well its a data chip - why not use it as a thumb drive :D

But in more depth - here's what's diferent about this one ?

Spiker carbine blaster - Halo

Finally the first weapon from Halo is completed :) 


I wanted to make somethign that i didnt see out there first, and the Spiker just seemed too interesting to pass :D I love the combo of mechanical / organic parts to it, so as always i added several options 


Everything can be assambled with the good old 8x8 pins, and there are multiple options/slicing versions included. Yes the blaster is huge (about 84 cm), but you can print it on any filament prin...

Ok, time for some new new stuff - its not a secret im a huge Dune Fan, so i had to add some "toys" to patreon wich im sure other Dune fans will like as well :)

So let's get started, a total of 4 projects have been uplaoded :) 


1 - Gom Jabbar update - So after i released the Gom Jabbar from dune i got some new references with a better view, so its turns out it wasnt that accurate, so i made a V2 thats a bit more closer to the real deal - its in the Gom Jabbar folde...

Gom Jabbar needle

I was thinking to add this one all toegether with the other Dune models i'm working on that will be ready rather soon, buuut what the heck, here it is :D 


It's the Gom Jabbar needle, as seen in the new Dune movie used by the bene gesserit "witch" :D :D . Now, given the sizing of the model and the details, this is almost sure to be printed on resin printers only (unless you plan to print a large version :D ). 


For that reason i have also added a "hol...

Now the knife is rather detailed so you will find the files sized are a bit larger especially the full combined one - for that reaon i added another fully combined version that is visually the same but is a tiny bit lower quality but and much smaller file size if you slicers will be giving you problems.

The Pumpkin'O'lorian updates

Ok i finally made the required updates to the pumpkinlorian :D 


before i talk about the project updates just a few words about the mesh - the interior might be a bit "lower poly" then we are used to but thats due to the fact that i didnt design it for all the changes, so i had to improve, however good news is that interiors is not really importannt, and ofc its still not terrible, so we're good to go.

Ronin lightsaber - SW visions - functional

As soon as SW vision hit one episode, one saber stood out from the crowd, and its also the one you've asked quite allot about. In my personal opinion this was the most badass one in the seriies, so ofc i had to make it. 

Yes, the lightsaber is functional. It uses the same electronics as i "lighthammer" and "lightnarsil". So basiclly all you need to do is once again take out electronics and place it into this one. 

I had to do some slight "accuracy" sacrifice in order to ...

So, not to put on too heavy presure on my self right from the start i decided to sculpt one of the most easiest characthers i could think off, and that was...

So what i did was first created his hammer - it has an oopening for 10mm rod for strength and stability, ofc multiple printing options, like hallow sides, one that needs less suprots, a full combined one for small scale resin print,  but you will see ...
