Ha, thanks! Yeah I saw the contest posted on Reddit. Also please post whatever you got! I really like seeing what other people make!
It’s the less I can do for Edna, although there still are some crazy superheroes that believe capes are cool and safe!
I love your Boba Fett rifle! Upvoted!
Han Solo’s DL44 from Star Wars: A New Hope
Every smuggler’s trusty sidearm! I poured hundreds of hours researching screengrabs and Lucasfilm archive photos to capture the detail to the best of my ability. My favorite aspects are that the hammer can be rotated back and forth, magazine can be unloaded, a spring can be added to make a functional trigger, and the model is printed in parts to maximize detail and ease of paint. Tech-savvy makers can take advantage of the space in the handgrip, body, and barrel to fit in electronics for light and sound effects. The render shows an ideal paint job, but I only have a raw print at the moment. I hope you have as much fun as I do with this model! The 34 .stl files are available on YouMagine:
@pherkan You should check this out!
This one is great!
This is not my design, however I thought this may be a good place to share the an outstanding example of what can be done with the 3dhubs community. I printed this for a customer from 3d hubs on our replicator 2, and our client did an amazing job of the finishing the model.
So let this be motivation for all the contest entrants, and makers alike.
Wow!
Hi Everyone.
I designed this Rebel X-wing pilot helmet for Star Wars secret cinema last summer, please excuse the rough finish I was on a pretty tight time scale.
I hope you like it.
P.S. it was my excuse to build my Prusa i3, I’m sure it would be much nicer from an Ultimaker

Here is a bust of a Duras species I designed in Sculptris. These characters were in several of the movies (Mos Eisley Cantina), the Clone Wars series, and in Battlefront games. Andy-3 Plovers Studios http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1347711

I don’t mean to sound rude but how is this a fair contest? You have an entry deadline of March 21 and most upvotes by then wins. Obviously whoever entered earlier has more of a chance to be seen and get votes. Whereas someone who say enters on March 21, well thanks for playing but you entered for no reason as you don’t stand a chance. Even people who decide to enter now they’ve practically lost. No disrepsect to flowlistik but he already won and might as well give him an ultimaker now as no one who enters later will ever catch up. This contest is flawed. Should be remade and adjusted so voting begins for everyone at a specific date after all entries are collected by entry deadline.
I think Edthomp makes a good point. I started designing my entry as soon as I saw this contest pop up and it’ll be about a week before I’m finished modeling and another week until it is finished printing. It would be a little more even if the submission deadline was on March 21 with a voting period lasting another month (April 21). That would level the playing field for everyone.
Definitely. Seems like those who already have had a star wars model made beforehand has a huge advantage because they can submit their old works. People who decide to create new works after seeing this contest are at a great disadvatage because it takes time to create something new.
De-entering the competition.
None of my things were made for the competition, I think people that create things FOR the comp should enter.
Yep, I agree, I am actually pulling my entries out. They were made ages ago, one of them in 2014.
I wonder why all these maker competitions are designed to be this way. Instructables contests always have a bunch of submissions of things made in the past. Maybe a better format would be to declare the topic and rules of the competition and give a month for makers to prepare their design before opening up submissions? Anyway, just my two cents.
Excuse me, I also participate in this competition and I also do not understand how you can have as many positive vote with a Dath Vader as ugly.
Obviously that you can cheat.
It is not possible that people do not see the real good job!
Good luck in spite of all
I thought this was wrong from the first day of the competition. Entries in the competition should be made for the competition.
I would like a good design competition (there are a few). I can do the design and have access to a printer at work (so I know what works and what doesn’t - but I’m not allowed to use it for personal prints) and would love to have one at home. So, here’s a contest for people who have a printer and they can win a printer. I feel it’s another case of “the rich get richer…” I can see giving away spools to people with printers - that makes sense, but not giving away a printer to people with a printer.
As a post-script - Yes, I enter every competition I can where I can win a printer. I just don’t have the opportunity to enter this one.
I have no gripes about submitting older works if the contest holder deems they are valid. I also agree that this contest should be made for people who made models for this contest as those individuals put in the work specifically for it. It would be more refreshing to see newer works get some recognition. Big fan of your modeling btw. The voting just needs to allow everyone an equal chance. It’s just quite discouraging that any new entries beyond this point be not be worth one’s effort.
I agree with you, my Darth Vader is really ugly (and don’t even think about what’s under that mask), focusing on a low-poly style limits what I can do with my designs, and 3D printing has some limitations too. The final result is usually what it’s left after solving the low-poly and the 3D printing problems or limitations.
About the real good job, be sure that people can see it. Your work and most of the other entries of the contest have my upvote, because I find them amazing and really inspiring. Your design is really detailed, and I wouldn’t even consider designing such a complex thing, my knowledge is very limited compared to yours. I wouldn’t be so interested in 3D printing if it wasn’t for all the community behind it, and be sure that I will die sharing my work and fighting for an open community.
I’m sorry if the upvotes my entry has have made you believe I cheated. Consider that I asked my followers and my closest friends to take a look and vote me if they considered I deserved the vote. Having fifty upvotes should be considered a complete fail. Is that cheating? Some of my friends have registered to vote me. I won’t hide anything, if 3D Hubs think I should be disqualified or that I shouldn’t participate, I will accept it.
This competition is terribly flawed. With a quick VPN shuffle I could up upvote any of these to #1. I think anyone who didn’t make the model specifically for this Comp should pull out.
Wow. Did not know about that. That will definitely lead to malicious intents. Maybe a better way to pick a winner is to go by the number of downloads a model has. That may works great as it will be newly uploaded models without preexisting downloads and a more definite way of showing popularity. This upvote voting system is horrible. It can definitley be gamed. Hope someone can bring this to the attention of the contest holder or some 3d hubs admin.
