Quinxx44 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hey guys, so I have a troop this weekend and need a blaster in a hurry. Found this one, and am wondering what everyone thinks? Also, if anyone has a blaster they are looking to sell, let me know right now, let me know! https://www.etsy.com/listing/237482480/3d-printed-scout-trooper-blaster-snaps?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=scout%20trooper%20blaster&ref=sr_gallery_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ha thats Todd i know that fine fellow lol. The 3d printed ones arent too bad. Youd have to wipe it down with acetone or use something else to remove the print lines/smooth it out (smooth-on makes a product, the name escapes me right now though) to get it looking good though. But they are more durable than resin so thats a plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinxx44 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Awesome!! Yeah I was wondering about the lines... Didn't think about the acetone idea. Thanks for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yeah, working at a 3D Print Shop I'll tell you... getting rid of those lines is critical to making anything look nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If done right, these can look quite nice and weigh practically nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinxx44 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 So I went ahead and grabbed one. Threw it together really quick and here it is! Not too bad, just needs a little finishing. Light as a feather. -I do know that I put the rear piece backwards, lol. Has been fixed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That looks awesome! Just some post-work and it'll be a nice (light) trooping blaster ... when I was starting out I wanted to make my blaster from one of the Acrylic plastic machines we had.... but that's not cheap stuff unfortunately.
