Crosshair finaly done :)

DOWNLOAD LINK AT THE END OF THE POST

This one was long awaited and the last helmet missing from the bad batch set ,and now it's finally done :) 

I try to include a tiny bit of "innovation" in every build if i possibly can, not just pop out models and be done with it, and the rangefinders are always interesting to work on, and i wanted this one to make with as much functionality as possible. 

This time I have created a rangefinder that doesn't need any ...

Helldivers grenades in action :)

A little preview of the functionality as well the assembly of the grenades. Im very happy with the functionality and these are quite fun to play with :) and as you will see the build is very very very simple and straightforward :)

Back to LOTR :D

Just in case you were worried, nope, i didn't stop making LOTR stuff :) 

I wanted something a bit more challenging one this time, but with lots of available references to work with,  and this was without a doubt one of the most complex sword models I had the pleasure of 3d modeling, so this is now THE MOST DETAILED and complete 3d printable sword of Eowyn out there :)

I did my best to accurately capture all the details and shapes, and there were quite a lot ...

G6 and G12 added to complete the set!!!

And the last 2 :)

Today I am uploading the G6 frag grenade and G12 high explosive grenade from Helldivers 2 :) and that would complete the grenades set :)

On the side note, ,my test print came out fantastic, I'm very happy with it, and the "functionality" as well,  so will share that one soon for you to see once it is all recorded :)

Same as other others, the functionality is there, making it a bit more cool, and just to recap i have added a photo of all of th...

G3 Smoke and G6 Impact added

2 more added to the set , so there are 4 so far :) and 2 more are on the way :)

This time G3 smoke grenade and G6 Impact grenades are added :)

For the G3, same thing as last time ,   i designed some magnets slots that will create tension on the lever, and as you pull out the pin, the lever part will fly out like on the real one, making that prop that much more cool , and the G6 is a bit more "static" .   But both are once again split, so the print is super ...

More functional Helldivers "accesories" :)

You know my designs are all about functionality, soooo i have started making for you some Helldivers "accessories" to go along with that AR23 . But those were just too cool to be simple static props. I know there might be some other models of them out there, buuut are there any "functional" ones ? :D 

These are the G10 incendiary and g23 stun grenade

I'm working on 6 grenades types in total, here are first 2, others should be done very very soon, but i wanted that "grenade...

God of War

Something you may not expect, but it's here :) 

This was a project I created several years ago, before I even started my patreon for a talented cosplayer named Badge 3d. Unfortunately, he never got around to making this armor, but he was so very kind to allow me to share it with you, so you can fully enjoy the project and make the armor yourself :) 

It is Krato's  chest and shoulder armor from God of War :) 

I have reduced the thickness a bit compared ...

AR-23 Liberator

Well, I might be a bit late to the party, but at least now you can bring democracy across the galaxy with the most detailed and proportionally accurate AR23 :) all designed by me personally as every other project you see here:) for those who are not familliar with the blaster it is from the new Helldivers 2 game.

I've also designed some little extra features like the functional trigger, textured grip and stock parts, lenses for the scope, and indents for text and logo for easier paint...

Supercommando armor parts added :)

Making some progress :) This is still a "work in progress" but the parts you see on photos are ready for ptinting :)

As always I'm working on multiple items at the same time, so I will mix up the releases a bit with other items, buuuuuuut for now here are some Mandalorian supercommando armor parts done, and uploaded and ready for printing :)

To recap, as before, given your feedback where many of you said the boba fett chest plate felt too big, this one is a bit smaller, differ...

Mandalorian supercommando helmet

Back to Mando's :) I'm sure you won't mind this one :) The Mandalorian supercommando helmet from Ahsoka. Full disclosure - I mostly used the sideshow toy references, as those are the only decent ones available, and I made sure to cover pretty much all options you usually request for printing :) 

I've spent quite  some time on this one, so in photo 2 you will be able to see all the options included:
 - fully combined with details and vizor

New month's link has been sent , check your patreon inbox for the link :)

Ok, so this is not "new Dune" - same as many of you unfortunately I have not yet had the pleasure to see the new movie, so i kindly ask to be carefull with the spoilers pleaseeeee :D  But the very fact that it's out there reminded me of a project I wanted to make back when the first one came out, so I took the opportunity to finally make it :)

The aesthetics of ships in the movie is really amazing, a...

Old projects updated

Ok by now i think you might get tired of the lightsabers :D

Just wanted to let you know i have updated 2 old lightsaber projects to be compatible with the new electronics

- Baylan Skoll lightsaber

- Anakin ep3 lightsaber

So if you have access to those, just hit refresh and download new versions :)

Now, i still don't like the new chassis design that aliexpress is shipping with the new electronics and so far i didn't have the opportunity to share my thoughts ,...

Starkiller Spiked lightsaber

Hope you're ready for another fast release :D

Another addition to the original Starkiller armor, the Starkiller's lightsabers are full of mystery. It is very hard to find good references, so I appreciated it when our group's member Damien Moreau shared the 501st reference photo, so I have at least some guide to work with.

Now keep in mind, there isn't much presented on those references, so I took some artistic liberty and created a super simple, easy to print ( DOESN'T NEED A...

Wolverine tactical cowl

It's been a while since i checked in, but that usually means something good is cooking :)

Inspired by the AI photo people shared in the FB group, I call this the Wolverine tactical cowl. Why do I call it tactical ? well, i don't know, i just kind of like it :D haha

I thought it would be cool to give it the mild carbon fiber texture, so when printing it will not pop out like crazy, but you will notice it is there. I also included a clean version, in case you wish to add the textu...

Balin's sword / mace

We can't get enough LOTR stuff, can we ? :) 

I really love the aesthetics of the props , so this time I have picked one with a bit of complicated shapes. It was very fun figuring those out , how they flow and in the end connect , so I hope you will like it :) 

It's Balin's sword from the Hobbit :) 

The size is matched to the official prop, well, as close as possible , and I think it is fair to say this is the most accurate and most detailed 3d model ou...

Epic Lightsaber project :)

Thank you all for helping me do all the lightsaber electronics research, and i hope, finally, now all information is clear and available for the ease of use :)

Basically, based on your feedback with the test prints - there were a total of 7 types of electronics that got sent to you from aliexpress.

However i looked at common traits,and luckly, all these can be broken down to 3 types that cover almost all , if not all, electronics types, so that's why i did :

Would you like to help with the new lightsabers ? :)

Ok guys, the functional lightsaber drama might come to an end :) Soon i will release a new lightsaber chasis design that will fit the new lightsaber electronics from aliexpress.

In the photos you can see what the test print piece looks like - I need you to help me test if the tolerances are good on your electronics as w...

Inquisitor Starkiller armor is here :)

There is something special about those Inquisitors in SW Universe :)

Starkiller armor and helmet was one of the most popular items lately, and I am a big fan of the Inquisitor design style. Now, I can't say I came up with that idea , it was suggested in the FB group, but I did take some creative freedom and designed the Starkiller Inquisitor armor for you guys that doesnt have that many parts, and should not be a super complicated build :)

So, let me walk you through it :) View Post

No man can kill me ... part 3 :D

The iconic movie prop part of the month came early :D

Before I continue - the February folder has been sent, you will find that model in there ( we are makers tier member) , and everything else i release this month :)

I did quite some effort to make the shape and proportions as close as possible to the real deal. I've seen quite a few...

Soooo, here it is, but at this point I'm sure you are already expecting a trick up my sleeve ;)

The blaster comes both with FUNCTIONAL TRIGGER and NON FUNCTIONAL TRIGGER, so you can choose which one works best for you :)  

The functional trigger version also has an easy access compartment for the trigger assembly if you need to change the spring or trigger, and it uses the standard m3 screws and n...

3d printed chains test :D

I am very very very happy with the print on place chains for thr Witch king.

The print in place presuported version worked fantastic. I just added brim and thats it, hit print and the presupoorted parts cleaned off nice and easy :)

Gonna do some more tests with the chain and csnt wait to complete thr build :)

Also, if you are printing this, i updated the folder, there was a mistake with 1 chain link, that is now fixed so just refresh :)

No man can kill me .. part 2 :D

As promised, the awesome mace of the Witch King :) 

Now this was very fun to figure out. The mace is a very large and heavy weapon so I did my best to make it work entirely with 3d printing :) In order for that to work I just had to do a minor chain design change, but they are still pretty close :) 

The grip part has a slot for aluminum rod/ wood insert for structural strength. 

Chains are fully printed in place, but due to them being so large and thick onl...

2 - pre-sliced blade with mounting pins and 80 x 1250 mm rod/wood/dowel insert - same as on some of my previous projects like the power sword. Such a design has been tested and the aluminum inserts look f...
